“The Sleepers Part 2”

Part of DC's 2009 "World Without Superman" event, this chapter of "The Sleepers Part 2" features a striking Andrew Robinson cover: a blue-haired, glowing-eyed woman in a long coat stands coolly above a pile of burning rubble — fragments of what appears to be a colorful costume smoldering in the flames below her. Greg Rucka scripts the interior alongside artists Eddy Barrows and Sidney Teles, promising the kind of taut, grounded superhero storytelling Rucka does so well. The mood Robinson sets — ominous, deliberate, and a little unsettling — makes this one of the more compelling cover images in the run.

Ursa has tracked down Nightwing and Flamebird to Superman's fortress and attacks them, taunting them all the while. She almost kills Flamebird, but Nightwing turns the tables and could kill her with a kryptonite knife, but refuses as Superman would not do that. He leaves her virtually blinded in the fortress, which she accidentally brings down on herself as Nightwing takes Flamebird to Metropolis to his adopted mother Lois Lane.
