Could Dave get a knock on his door, and has enough spit hit the fan for Hit-Girl to pick up her sword again?

SUPERMAN #1
The new adventures of Superman begin here! What is The Man of Steel's startling new status quo? How does it affect Lois Lane and The Daily Planet? There's no time for answers now, because Superman must stop a monstrous threat to Metropolis - one that he somehow is the cause of!
