Superman by Phillip Kennedy Johnson, collected as a pack of 2 oversized omnibus volumes and cheaper than buying them one by one. Phillip Kennedy Johnson's Superman sends Clark Kent to Warworld, powerless, to free a population that has never heard of him. The Warworld Saga is the best-reviewed Superman run in years and its premise is unusually hard: a Superman with no powers, no sun and no way home, who has to organise rather than punch. Superman and the Authority by Grant Morrison is here too, which is where the volume's setup comes from. Superman by Phillip Kennedy Johnson Omnibus Vol. 2 continues the run that sent Superman to Warworld to free its slaves, stripped of most of his power and with no guarantee of coming back. Kennedy Johnson writes him as a man who keeps going because stopping is not available to him.
