Action Comics #23.2

General Zod dominates this New 52 villain-month spotlight, rendered in furious red armor with heat-vision blazing and fire erupting around him as he roars with unbridled menace — Gene Ha's cover work makes the Kryptonian warlord feel genuinely terrifying in scale. A figure in a Superman costume with what appears to be a power-dampening collar stands defiantly small in the lower left, underscoring just how overwhelming Zod's presence is. Writer Greg Pak and artist Ken Lashley bring this 2013 deep-dive into one of Superman's most formidable adversaries, promising a portrait of power and ruthlessness that fans of the New 52 won't want to miss.
