Synopsis:
Superman has been trying to track Arion, with the help of Zatanna and the Phantom Stranger. Arion keeps creating minor disasters as a warning, which Superman stops. Subjekt-17 tracks down Superman, and makes him choose between helping Subjekt-17, or standing for his torturers. Superman wants to do both, but Subjekt-17 treats that as a rejection of him, and attacks. Superman defeats him, and Subjekt-17 reveals where Arion is, but he teleports away. Superman goes to Arion, but instead of attacking directly as Arion had figured, he causes a whirlpool, and lets the ocean’s weight crush the city.

Story continued from issue #664 and continues in Superman Annual (DC, 1987 series) #13 (January 2008). In promotional materials, this is called part 1 of the 2-part finale of "Camelot Falls". On the DC Message Boards on 2007-10-02 and the next day, Kurt talks about the art, saying that Merino is sharing the pencils with Pacheco, and "doing quite a bit more than layouts, but not full pencils."
