SPOILER ALERT: If you have not read SUPERMAN #36 yet and do not wish to know what happens, stop reading this post now (major spoilers ahead!).

In last month’s THIS JUST HAPPPEND! we questioned whether Ulysses exodus proposition was too good to be true. IS leaving Earth the only way to solve Earth’s problems?

The people of earth who witnessed Ulysses’ broadcast seem to have liked what they heard…

“The Men of Tomorrow” continues in Chapter 5, SUPERMAN #36, with droves of people flocking to Ulysses’ spaceship, eager to join the expedition to the Fourth Dimension. The scene is quite chaotic as people beg Ulysses to choose them over others.

However, despite Ulysses public invitation to the entire world, apparently ‘all earthlings’ don’t include Ulysses’ mother and father. As Ulysses returns to his parents’ house after his speech, he tells them they can’t accompany him to the Fourth Dimension – for their own safety.

Wait, didn’t’ Ulysses just publicly declare his world to be a safe haven? How is he protecting his parents by not letting them join the mass departure?

To add more mystery to Ulysses’ actions, Ulysses turns on Superman after Superman confronts him about his parents and his exodus announcement… Where is this violence coming from?

As Ulysses totally loses his cool, see below as a fight ensues between Ulysses and Superman, leaving Superman in shreds! What is going on? What does Ulysses mean by saying Earth must pay? Sound off in the comments below!

SUPERMAN #36, written by Geoff Johns and illustrated by John Romita Jr. is available in stores now.
