Synopsis:

Writer James Robinson (STARMAN, JSA: THE GOLDEN AGE) and a bevy of up-and-coming artists including Fernando Dagnino, Bernard Chang, Javier Pina and Matt Camp continue the adventures of Superman's adopted cousin Mon-El, the new guardian of Metropolis! With The Man of Steel away on New Krypton, it's up to Mon-El to face off against Bizarro and General Lane - Lois Lane's father! Mon-El also debuts his new Superman-inspired costume in this collection guest-starring Superboy, the Legion of Super-Heroes and many others! And when Superman returns to Earth, will Mon-El freely give up his duty as protector of a city he's grown to love?
