Superman will bleed in Justice League of America #4. Well, he’ll do it of his own volition if we’re being technical. With Superman’s previously predicted death looming large on the horizon, the Man of Steel is giving a vial of his blood to Cyborg in order to see if there’s any way to stop it. However, they’re going to have to work quickly because the Church of Rao is gaining strength and followers every moment. To make matters worse, The Flash is still lost in time. Will the Scarlet Speedster be able to rejoin his teammates before its too late? Is Superman doomed? Should the Church of Rao be tax-exempt? Most of these questions will be answered in our preview of Justice League of America #4, which is available in stores now.
