Doomsday's Official Return to DC Lore Teases the Death of Supergirl

Supergirl might be in peril in Action Comics Presents Doomsday Special# 1, a new one- shot that sees the idol face off against an upgraded Doomsday. 


The return of a intimidating DC villain spells trouble for Supergirl. Doomsday, the monster that formerly killed Superman, is coming back from Hell itself, and he is heading straight for a dramatic battle with the Woman of Steel. 

This August, DC Comics is releasing Action Comics Presents Doomsday Special# 1, a new 48- runner one- shot that is bringing the iconic Superman villain back to terrify the DC Universe formerly more. Dan Watters and Eddy Barrows platoon up for the special, which will feature a number of variant covers from artists like Lucio Parrilo, Clayton Crain, Jon Bogdanove, Björn Barends, and Puppeteer Lee. 

It is a creature beyond reason—and the only force in the universe strong enough to kill Superman. It’s Doomsday, the living embodiment of death, destruction, and evolution! In the wake of Dark Crisis and Lazarus Planet, King Doomsday now sits on a throne of skulls across a river of blood, holding court over the demons that swarm in the depths of Hell...and he may have just found a way back to the land of the living. It’s now up to Supergirl and Martian Manhunter to drive the beast back and see that he never again returns to our earthly plane—even if they must die to do it! Plus: the return of Bloodwynd, the debut of the Doomhounds, and a clue to the next big Superman event!

After the events of Dark Crisis on horizonless worlds and Lazarus Planet, Doomsday is in Hell. But noway one to be gone for long, the mammoth is trying to return to the land of the living. The only people who can stop him are Supergirl and Martian Manhunter, both of whom are ready to give their lives in order to stop the hulking imminence for good. The special also promises the return of the idol Bloodwynd, as well as a tease to DC Comics' coming Superman event. 

Supergirl is Ready to Die to Stop Doomsday

Superman might be the strongest force for good in the DCU, but the sheer brute strength of Doomsday gave Clark a run for his plutocrat. After an violent battle across the world, Superman succeeded in stopping the intimidating alien, but at the cost of his own life. Unfortunately, that was not the last the Earth aphorism of Doomsday, as the critter could regenerate himself from commodity as small as a single cell. Though Clark has had multitudinous rematches with Doomsday, indeed he is plodded to put the villain down for good. 

But perhaps the concerted forces of Supergirl and Martian Manhunter can do what the Last Son of Krypton was not suitable to. After all, Supergirl has grown in power as of late, with indeed Superman admitting she's one of the most important Kryptonians alive. Martian Manhunter also lately encountered Doomsday, or at least the villain's psychic residue in the recent one- shot Lazarus Planet We Once Were Gods# 1. perhapsJ'onn's telepathic powers and Kara's strength will be enough to insure Doomsday stays trapped in Hell. But if this story is meant to be remonstrating off the coming Superman event, effects could just as fluently go south for the icons . 

The death of Superman was a moment that stunned the world, and it led to the" Reign of the Supermen!" plot that introduced four implicit reserves for thehero.However, it's not outside the realm of possibility that Supergirl or Martian Manhunter is in peril of being killed, If Action Comics Presents Doomsday Special# 1 is intended to lead into what DC Comics has planned for the Superman line. Whatever's happed to Doomsday, he is obviously gotten an upgrade if he is strong enough to break out of Hell, and that may outdo whatever power Kara andJ'onn can put together. suckers will have to see for themselves what fate waits for Supergirl in Action Comics Presents Doomsday Special# 1, on trade August 29th.
