In "Different Worlds," John Byrne and George Pérez deliver a mythic showdown as Hermes calls Wonder Woman to Olympus, only for Superman to arrive moments later—separated by a cosmic rift. The two heroes, each arriving in different parts of the godly realm, face Darkseid’s manipulation as he toys with their loyalty and strength. The cover, a stunning collaborative effort by Byrne, Schaffenberger, Giordano, Swan, Mignola, and others, captures the epic scale of the confrontation.
