Adventures of Superman #12

Superman dominates this June 2014 cover with raw, kinetic energy — cape billowing dramatically as twin beams of heat vision blaze outward from his eyes against a dark, fiery backdrop. The bold tagline "The Demolisher!" hints at a formidable threat awaiting the Man of Steel inside, with Peter Milligan scripting and Agustín Padilla on art duties. Ed Benes's cover work captures a Superman who looks both powerful and pushed to his limits, making this an easy issue to pull off the shelf.
