“Superman vs. Gog, Part 2: Behold, I Am Against Thee”

A horned, staff-wielding Gog dominates the foreground of this 2004 DC cover, unleashing a blinding burst of energy against a caped figure silhouetted in the blazing light above — the confrontation radiating heat and menace across every inch of Arthur Adams's cover art. The tagline "Death! In the Name of Gog" sets a suitably ominous tone for Part 2 of Superman's clash with this formidable adversary, with Chuck Austen writing and Ivan Reis on interior art. It's a visually striking chapter in a story that clearly isn't pulling any punches.

Gog overwhelms both Superman and the Titans, destroying much of Smallville. Superman is injected with liquefied Kryptonite, which weakens him nearly to the point of death.
