“Escape from Bizarro World Chapter 2”

In "Escape from Bizarro World Chapter 2," Superman faces a twisted dilemma as he and Jonathan Kent are trapped on a planet where everything is inverted—and the Bizarros have turned on their false leader. Written by Geoff Johns and Richard Donner, with dynamic art by Eric Powell and coloring by Dave Stewart, this issue ratchets up the tension with a desperate standoff that puts Pa Kent’s life in the balance. The cover by Eric Powell captures the chaos perfectly.
