The issue deals with the fallout from “The Oz Effect,” the storyline which pitted Superman against the mysterious Mr. Oz, a prisoner and agent of a higher power thought to be Doctor Manhattan from Watchmen. In the story’s first chapter, Oz was revealed to be Jor-El, Superman’s biological father, a revelation which continues to haunt Superman through at least two more stories.
In the preview, Superman deals with the destruction left in the Fortress of Solitude, trying to revive Fortress robot Kelex in order to get more details about Mr. Oz which he may hold.
