A four-issue weekly miniseries event begins! Ty Duffy, a new reporter for the Daily Planet, is assigned a story on the anniversary of Superman’s death. Duffy starts by interviewing those who suffered through Doomsday’s rampage, beginning with some members of the JLA: Booster Gold and Blue Beetle!

In 1992 the unthinkable happened - Superman died at the hands of the monstrous creature known as Doomsday. Now, rookie reporter Ty Duffy is assigned to cover the anniversary of Superman's death. But soon he's following a trail of murders along the path Doomsday once took to Metropolis.
The Planet’s new reporter continues his interviews concerning the day Doomsday killed Superman, now widening his subjects to the ordinary civilians who were there and the horrors they saw-it wasn’t just Superman who died that day. Duffy also interviews the Prankster and other lower-tier villains who tried to take credit for the tragedy. Meanwhile, Superman continues to investigate more mysterious accidents as the clues to an emerging threat become clearer.
