Action Comics #767

The fourth and final chapter of "Critical Condition" arrives in Action Comics #767, and Doug Mahnke's cover makes the stakes unmistakably clear — a visibly strained Superman is pinned beneath the armored, half-masked Deathstroke, who looms over him with a blade drawn and ready to deliver what the cover bluntly calls his "Final Cut." Framed within a smashed viewport behind them, figures struggle in a chaotic tangle, amplifying the sense that the situation has spiraled well beyond Superman's control. Joe Kelly, Kano, and Marlo Alquiza close out this arc with what the cover promises to be Superman at his most desperate.
