A cosmic figure named Kismet dominates this September 1992 cover, her dark form studded with stars and planets as she looms over a seemingly helpless Superman cradled in her grasp — it's a striking image of the Man of Steel rendered small against the vast scale of fate itself. The cover blurb promises the aftermath of the Blaze/Satanus War and Superman meeting his destiny, setting a genuinely dramatic tone. Tom Grummett and Doug Hazlewood deliver a beautifully composed cosmic tableau that makes this issue hard to pass up.
