Superman Unchained #1
"The Leap"

Story Synopsis:

During the second World War, the Japanese feared a new weapon that they knew would come from the skies. One day, in Nagasaki, a young boy looked up to see a plane flying overhead. He watched through binoculars to see it dropping what appeared to be a bomb. However, the casing fell away to reveal a man.

Now, Superman re-enters the Earth's atmosphere, and recalls how it feels similar to the experience of a game he used to play with his friends in Smallville called "The Colder Leap", where they would jump from a neighbor's silo into his haystacks before school. There, though, in outer space, Superman has found a prototype space station called the Lighthouse, developed in cooperation between the Americans, Russians, and Japanese. It is meant to be a hub for deep space exploration.
