“Power Crisis!”

The cover of this April 1997 issue says it all: Superman is on his knees, crackling blue lightning erupting from his hands as he clutches his face in apparent agony, while a wide-eyed young woman looks on in alarm from across the room. The bold tagline — "New Wife, New Powers, New Home… New Powers?!" — signals that something fundamental is shifting for the Man of Steel, and cover artists Stuart Immonen and José Marzán Jr. sell the drama with striking energy and tension. With Karl Kesel writing and Scot Eaton on interior pencils, "Power Crisis!" looks like a compelling chapter in Superman's ever-evolving story.
