Adventures of Superman #1

This 2014 DC collection brings together stories under the banner of *Adventures of Superman*, opening with the tale "Violent Minds." Bryan Hitch's cover sets the tone beautifully — Superman strains with fierce determination against a mass of massive, coiling dark tentacles and heavy chains, sparks flying all around him as his cape billows in the chaos, with warm golden light burning behind him. IGN called it "a must-read for Superman fans," and one look at Hitch's dynamic artwork makes it easy to see why.
