Synopsis[]
Deathtrap infiltrates the Metropolis Social Services Center while it is being rennovated and sets up a series of high-tech gadgets designed to capture Superman. Clark Kent puts in a few hours at the Daily Planet and ruminates about his pending nuptials to Lois Lane, who is in the middle of investigating a story about a serial killer. On New Genesis, Mister Miracle is in a funk and not even a bathing Big Barda can lighten his spirits. He is suddenly whisked away to Earth via a Boom Tube where he has to help Superman defeat Deathtrap's devices. Meanwhile, Conduit breaks out of Stryker's Island Penitentiary.
