OK, Kurt Busiek, Fabian Nicieze and Pete Woods, have really jumped into this story running. Last issue ended with the "Collector", for lack of a better name, landing in SanFrancisco bay. His robots are scouring the earth for achitectural items that he can sell on his cosmic E-Bay. He's also huge. I don't think that's meant to be an intimidating factor, I think it's just the scale of the species he belongs to. Superman tries to fight him, but can barely get his attention because he is so miniscule. He only does so by severing his comlinks. All this does though is pique his curiosity. He's starts scanning the world for metapowered wildlife, and in doing so discovers 3 Kryptonians. 3 you say? I guess we'll just have to learn about that in the future. But anyways he decides to open a new bidding category - "Metapowered Exotica". So he decides to go into full acquisition mode of all costumed terrans. Next we see the inside of his ship where all these people, heroes and villians, are being kept. They all look like a bunch of Butterflys caught on fly paper, however thier powers are also being suppressed. Superman manages to break out of his holding cell, but he's not sure how. So he puts together a team, with the rest of his available comrads, and tries to formulate a plan to get everyone out. His team consists of Firestorm, Nightwing, Aquaman, Livewire, the Veteran, Blue Jay and Skyrocket (from Power Co.). Thier first order of business is to pick a team leader, which of course the can't do. They do however make some progress, due mostly to Nightwing and Superman's persistence. They find the power source and are attempting to disable it, however without thier powers, that will be almost a suicide mission. So who steps up to take the plunge? Who else, Superman. The final page is him diving into the power core, not knowing if he's going to make it or not.
