Adventures of Superman: Book of El #5

Superman looks absolutely tiny against the swirling, crackling enormity of the Sun-Eater on this striking cover from Adventures of Superman: Book of El #5 — the contrast between the Man of Steel's familiar blue-and-red silhouette and the cosmic entity's blazing red vortex is genuinely breathtaking. Scott Godlewski's cover art sells the overwhelming scale of the threat, with white lightning radiating outward as Superman is drawn deep into that consuming glow. Part five of Phillip Kennedy Johnson's "Book of El" saga promises the kind of deep-space, high-stakes Superman story that reminds you why this character endures.
