Adventures of Superman #593
In "Our Worlds At War: Suicide Mission," Superman faces a tense confrontation with Manchester Black and a group of government-backed operatives testing their powers—some of whom are digging up the remains of Mongul as part of a larger, undisclosed mission. With the Secretary of Defense withholding crucial information from Lois, the stakes rise as secrets deepen and the threat of war looms. Written by Joe Casey and brought to life with dynamic art by Mike Wieringo—his pencils on the cover enhanced by Terry Austin's inks—this 2001 issue delivers a gripping, high-stakes moment in the Superman mythos.
