Indexer Notes

The cover solicited in May 2010 for this issue (featuring Superman in Earth orbit looking at a picture) was not used.

There was some controversy when a version of this cover was provided on DC's The Source Blog on 2010-06-01, as the flag had more than 50 stars on it (Cassaday, being British, may not have noticed). The extra stars were eliminated from the final cover.

Synopsis
Superman continues walking across the country, visiting Detroit Michigan. He plays a pickup game of basketball, and runs across alien refugees hiding on Earth, admonishing them to give back to their adopted community. He is given a tour of a closed factory by the watchman, but then his tour guide collapses. Superman takes him to the aliens, and convinces them to cure him. He also convinces them to reopen factories to use their ultra medical science for the development of new techniques and equipment.
