“This sack of meat and bones is not worthy of our attention.”

Those are some pretty harsh words, but they are especially cruel when coming from the lips of the goddess Strife in reference to Superman. Things aren’t looking so hot for the Man of Steel, who is straddling the line between life and death. Desperate to save her friend, Wonder Woman asks a favor of the Greek gods Hephaestus, Eros, Artemis, Hermes, Strife, and Hades: save Superman’s life.

Of course, nothing is ever that easy in the world of DC Comics and these all-powerful beings crave entertainment for their services. So, before they save the Last Son of Krypton, they will subject him to a rigorous gauntlet of trials to test his mettle and his merit. And you can take a sneak peek at what’s in store for him in our exclusive preview of Peter J. Tomasi and Doug Mahnke’s Superman/Wonder Woman #25 in our gallery below.
