Adventures of Superman #647

The cover by Karl Kerschl poses a pointed question — "Faster than a speeding bullet?" — as Superman streaks forward at full speed, arm outstretched, racing a fired bullet toward what appears to be an armored figure already shattering from the impact. It's a tense, kinetic composition that captures the Man of Steel's defining ability put to an immediate, urgent test. Greg Rucka, Nunzio DeFilippis, and Christina Weir team with artist Renato Guedes for "Rack & Ruin, Part II," making this February 2006 issue a compelling chapter in the ongoing Adventures of Superman run.
