This four–part Top Cow/DC Comics crossover finds mob hitman—and wielder of the demonic power of the Darkness—Jackie Estacado moving in on the Metropolis underworld, which brings him into conflict with the current kingpin, one Mr. Grasso, and Grasso’s enforcer, the Man with the Kryptonite Heart—Metallo. Once Superman becomes comes between the combatants, Lois Lane is dragged into the conflict, and an uneasy alliance is formed between the Man of Steel and Estacado: if Superman will look the other way and allow him to take over Metropolis’ criminal empire, Estacado will help Superman rescue his beloved wife. Quite a pickle, but this is Superman we’re dealing with: if anyone can find his way through this, it’s the Big Red S. There’s little doubt that everyone involved will learn the danger of “tugging on Superman’s cape” and messing with his woman.
