It's a huge job under the best of circumstances, but when the entire planet is mysteriously transplanted into the Phantom Zone, the prison dimension built to hold Krypton's most dangerous criminals, it may be more than Superman and even the Justice League can handle. Not only is the Phantom Zone itself threatening to tear the Earth apart, but it's also home to the worst killers in history--all of whom have a personal vendetta against Superman.
