Adventures of Superman #595
In "Our Worlds at War: Escalation," Superman stands defiant against Darkseid as Apokolips unleashes its full fury upon Earth, while Brainiac 13 seizes the chaos to strike. With Warworld awakening and Lena urging the President to prepare for the truth, Superman confronts the weight of his choices—especially as Lex Luthor reveals General Zod’s hidden role in the New World Order. Written by Joe Casey and brought to life with dynamic art by Mike Wieringo and Bill Sienkiewicz, this pivotal issue pushes Superman to the edge, where the line between justice and vengeance begins to blur. The cover by Mike Wieringo and José Marzán Jr. captures the epic scale of the battle, a 2.25 USD comic from 2001 that marks a turning point in the War of the Worlds.
