Superman: The Man of Steel #132 – 2003 delivers a gripping penultimate chapter in this enduring DC Comics series, setting the stage for the conclusion of a title that defined Superman storytelling throughout the '90s and early 2000s. As the series nears its end, the narrative leans into deep character exploration and legacy-building, giving long-time readers a reflective yet impactful Superman story.

Written by Mark Schultz, with expressive pencils from Doug Mahnke and sharp inks by Tom Nguyen, this issue balances powerful superhero action with strong emotional undercurrents. Clark Kent faces the moral and personal fallout of a world growing increasingly cynical—a world that no longer sees Superman as a simple saviour, but a complex figure with impossible expectations.

In The Man of Steel #132, readers are presented with themes of trust, identity, and resilience. Superman’s choices and values are questioned from all angles—by the people of Metropolis, the press, his allies, and even himself. Schultz’s writing highlights the psychological and ethical burden of being Earth’s greatest protector, while maintaining Superman’s unwavering humanity and hope.

Doug Mahnke’s artwork elevates the issue further, bringing emotion and atmosphere into every page. His use of shadow and body language makes the quieter scenes just as compelling as the action panels. Combined with Tom Nguyen’s inking, the visuals in this chapter are bold, expressive, and full of storytelling weight.
