Action Comics #21

Part three of "Hybrid" arrives in this New 52 chapter from 2013, and Tony S. Daniel and Matt Banning's cover delivers an immediate sense of dread — a battered, fists-clenched Superman stands his ground as a horde of zombie-like figures surges around him, while a massive dark creature looms in the foreground with jaws spread wide. The tagline "Hybrid Rises!" promises that whatever threat Superman is facing here has reached a dangerous new peak. It's a striking image that captures the Man of Steel looking tested but unbroken, with a bonus "World of Krypton" backup rounding out the issue.
