All-Star Superman (Volume 1) with a cover date of May, 2006.
Synopsis for "Sweet Dreams, Superwoman..."
In issue #3, after Lois gains Superman's powers for 24 hours, Superman and Super-Lois meet Samson, a time-traveler from the year 2061, and Atlas, another superman of myth. Together, the two defeat an evolved dinosaur dictator who is attacking Metropolis. After returning the dino-man to the center of the Earth, Samson gives Lois some Radioactive Crown Jewels he "borrowed" from the Ultra-Sphinx. Samson shows Superman a Daily Planet paper with the headline "Superman Dead," taunting him while flirting with Lois. After the Ultra-Sphinx shows up demanding the return of the jewels, Lois is threatened with death unless the Sphinx's question is answered correctly: "What happens when the unstoppable force meets the immovable object?" After a moment, Superman correctly answers: "They surrender." After this incident, at Samson's and Atlas' insistence on a feat of strength in order to "win" Lois, Superman arm-wrestles both strongmen, breaking their arms in the process. Superman and Lois later attend Lois' birthday party at the bottom of the sea, and still later, the two kiss on the moon. By 3:30 MPT the super-powers leave Lois and she falls asleep, before Superman can ask his own, very important question. The newspaper headline "Superman Dead" is revealed to have none other than Metropolis' finest journalist on the byline: Clark Kent!
