Adventures of Superman #0

Part of DC's 1994 "Zero Hour" initiative, this special #0 issue promises "The Beginning of Tomorrow!" — and the cover delivers on that energy with Superman surging straight toward the reader, fists raised and cape streaming behind him against a backdrop of brilliant orange and blue explosions. Barry Kitson and Ray McCarthy give the Man of Steel a fierce, determined expression that signals serious stakes ahead. With Karl Kesel scripting and the story subtitle referencing powers beyond those of mortal men, this is a compelling entry point for anyone wanting to see Superman at his most driven.
