Absolute Superman #19

A storm of crackling lightning surrounds a battered Superman on this striking cover, his dark costume lit by fierce golden energy arcing across the entire composition — a figure caught in the raw heart of chaos. Rafa Sandoval's cover art (colored by Ulises Arreola) gives the scene a visceral, electric intensity that sets the tone beautifully for "Reign of the Superman Part Two: Red Steel in the Hour of Chaos." Jason Aaron's run on Absolute Superman continues to push the Man of Steel into genuinely compelling territory, and issue #19 looks like no exception.
