Action Comics #38

This 2015 New 52 entry delivers one of the more quietly haunting Superman covers in recent memory — a desaturated, almost noir rendering of a ruined interior, with Superman seen from behind, his vivid red cape the sole burst of color as he stands before a doorway marked "Kent." The tagline "There's No Place Like Home?" twists a familiar comfort into something far more unsettling, perfectly complementing Greg Pak's story title "Home Is Where the Hell Is." Aaron Kuder's cover art, inked by his own hand and colored by Wil Quintana, gives the whole image a melancholy weight that makes this issue hard to pass up.
