“Schooled”

Part of DC's 2025 "Summer of Superman" initiative, Action Comics #1089 arrives with a cover by Ryan Sook that stops you cold: Superman lies face-down in a vast field of rubble and twisted wreckage, twin beams of red energy piercing down from above while destruction stretches in every direction around him. The tagline "Visions of Destruction" sets an urgent, unsettling tone, and Mark Waid's story "Schooled" — brought to life by artist and inker Skylar Patridge with colors by Ivan Plascencia — promises to make the Man of Steel earn every step forward.
