“Fatal Obsession”

Superman staggers back as a blinding yellow energy blast connects squarely with him — fired by a green-clad, masked woman who looks utterly determined to bring the Man of Steel down. The cover by Stuart Immonen and José Marzán Jr. frames the confrontation against a Metropolis skyline and a scattering of heavy construction equipment, giving the whole scene a gritty, urban weight. With Karl Kesel, Immonen, and Marzán Jr. on the creative team, this September 1996 chapter — "Fatal Obsession" — promises a clash where Superman's famous resilience is very much in question.
