Action Comics #799

In "The Cage," Superman faces off against a rampaging giant ape in the heart of Chicago, but the real challenge lies not in the beast itself—just as the city's chaos begins to unfold, he realizes the creature is a distraction. Written by Joe Kelly and illustrated by Carlos Meglia in a striking, unified artistic vision, this issue reveals a deeper conspiracy tied to Hector Hammond, with hints of a far-reaching connection to the Green Lantern Corps. The cover by Carlos Meglia captures the intensity of the confrontation, setting the tone for a story where the battle is as much about perception as it is about power.
