Worldengine Stories

In the gleaming Metropolis of the DCU, Clark Kent has spent three years as a beacon of hope, navigating a world of political maneuvering and the cynical schemes of billionaire Lex Luthor. But hope is a fragile thing. When Luthor's pursuit of ultimate power rips a hole in the fabric of reality, the golden age of heroes is incinerated in an instant. From the rift emerges a nightmare of steel and shadow: General Zod and the survivors of a dying universe. They aren't here to coexist; they are here to terraform Earth into a New Krypton, beginning with a global slaughter that levels cities and claims millions of lives. As the World Engine chokes the atmosphere and the Black Zero shadows the sky, Superman is forced into a brutal, visceral conflict that shatters his moral compass. Caught between his vow to protect life and the necessity of god-like violence, Clark must face the ultimate Snyder-esque dilemma: Can you save a world if you have to become its destroyer to do it? With Lex Luthor orchestrating a public downfall from the safety of his bunkers and the blood of Metropolis staining the cape, the Man of Steel must decide what he is willing to sacrifice. In a world of falling towers and snapping necks, is there room for a hero, or only a survivor? Experience a darker reimagining of the DCU where the cost of victory is written in the ruins of a civilization.
