Catch Up with the Man of Steel with the 'Superman: Truth' Reading Order

At DCN we love comics as much as you do. Get ready for ”Truth”, the next chapter in the life of the man of steel as he discovers an all-new power – at a cost.

Before Convergence, Superman discovered a new power. He dubbed this ability ‘Solar Flare’. Superman became able to release all his stored solar energy at once, without control at first. He has come to master this ability over time, however this new power has a drawback: Clark becomes as human as the rest of us for short periods of time (days possibly), slowly gaining his powers back as he recharges.

The new storyline, ”Truth”, will explore Superman’s humanity as he deals with his vulnerability while continuing fighting the good fight after Lois Lane and the Daily Planet exposed to the world his real identity as Clark Kent.
