Comment(s):

Story continues from the previous issue and continues in the next issue.
Several news broadcasts are shown in this issue with a "Breaking News" bar running at the bottom of the screen. However, the events shown cannot take place at the same time as this story, or at least some of them must take place at some point prior to this and it must be assumed that the breaking news is something else.

Solicitation:

The United Planets is a perfect, beautiful idea…that completely flies in the face of everything the barbaric Mongul has been fighting for his entire life. Mongol will destroy the United Planets and Superman with it. And he said something about using Earth as his toilet. Which doesn’t sound very nice. The return of one of Superman's biggest and baddest villains…bigger and badder than ever!
