Superman
#45 Clark infiltrates

underground fighting match where he decides to participate as a fighter.
Superman
#46 Hordr_Root
created a Sand Clone of Superman which Clark
fights. The Superman Sand Clone used his heat vision on Jimmy while Hordr_Root
challenges Clark on his previous threat of anyone
who goes after his friends and family he will go after a thousandfold.
The arc
could have been much better. We have an unknown villain introduced and we know
less about him at the end than in the beginning. Clark
is outed however the consequences are still unfolding. The first issues of the
arc looked promising but it falls flat at the end of the arc.
