Concluding the saga spinning out of Superman�s conflict with Doomsday, �Superman Doomed� #2 opens plenty of doors for future storylines. Greg Pak and Charles Soule have included a wide variety of Superman�s foes and allies in the �Doomed� story, and with that story wrapping up, the duo, with collaboration from artists Ken Lashley, Szymon Kudranski, Cory Smith, Dave Bullock, Jack Herbert, Ian Churchill, Vicente Cifuentes, Norm Rapmund and especially Aaron Kuder look to the Man of Steel�s future.

With Superman�s intellect submerged beneath the tumultuous persona of Doomsday, the heroes of Earth make a last stand against Brainiac. The Man of Doom barrels through Brainiac�s spacecraft and into a myriad of mental imagery as Pak and Soule fill the pages and panels between the characters with existential braggadocio. Some of the mental shards illuminate Brainiac�s attempts at reconciling his work, others his thinly-veiled plots to out-maneuver his opponent. All feature aspects of Superman�s reality warped in some fashion, giving Pak and Soule a chance to examine several possibilities that would fill a year of �What If�?� comics if DC had such a title.

�Superman Doomed� #2 would be much less impressive without the work of colorist Wil Quintana. It seems rare to have a single comic that is completely colored by one colorist, but rarer still is an oversized comic with only one colorist setting the tones. Quintana keeps Manhunter and Brainiac from being too similar, but brings the similarity into play when Lois Lane invokes her mental capabilities. The colorist even includes a shift as the green in Lois� face fades with her consciousness. While the argument could certainly be made that Quintana overdoes things with sheen and halos, those moments are in a mindscape, where light doesn�t have to be completely accurate or reasonable. As with the colors, letterer Taylor Esposito helps keep all of the players in line and identified for the readers. If their situation calls for it, the character receives a different color word balloon and an altered font, each decision impacting the story and describing the commotion filling the world of �Superman Doomed� #2.

The black hole throws Superman into deep space and it takes him sixty days to return to Earth. As soon as he gets to Earth, however, Supergirl tells him that even after the world's population was restored, thousands died in the invasion, among them Lana's parents. Also, Dr. Veritas is trapped within the Phantom Zone and there is no way to rescue her as the projector imploded. Sad, Clark publishes an article that argues that the world does not need Superman. However, Lois, who has forgotten Superman's identity, writes an article that says that Superman is still a positive influence on humanity, inspiring Clark. Meanwhile, Lana visits her parents' graves when suddenly a hand rises from a grave.

Superman reunites with Wonder Woman after she defeats Giganta in London. As they fly to Diana's apartment, they witness a large plant creature sneaking out. Superman deduces the creature is in a fact a rare Kryptonian plant he gave Wonder Woman shortly before the events of the arc happened. As the plant feeds off oil, they realize it will attempt to feed off the world's petroleum supply. Superman argues with Wonder Woman about how she was unable to feed a plant, but Wonder Woman counters she was busy saving the world. Wonder Woman flies to Olympus and confronts the goddess Eris, who is responsible for her argument with Superman. Eris says she is just doing her job and Wonder Woman cannot stop her. Wonder Woman replies that she can make her job harder and smashes her scrying pool. Superman tracks the plant creature down to a series of oil rigs off the coast of Scotland. Not wanting to hurt the creature, Superman asks Swamp Thing for help. As he touches the creature, Swamp Thing learns how to speak Kryptonian and is able to convince the creature to return to its original form. Later, Superman and Wonder Woman apologize for their unnecessary argument and restart the relationship.
