Batman / Superman #16

Part of "The Nemesis Objective" arc, this January 2015 issue of DC's New 52 series puts the World's Finest squarely at odds — Ardian Syaf and Danny Miki's cover depicts a furious Superman winding up a punch while a grimly determined Batman braces himself against a fiery, debris-filled cityscape. The tension between these two powerhouses crackles off the page, with Greg Pak at the helm alongside artist Ardian Syaf, inkers Sandra Hope Archer and David Meikis, and colorist Ulises Arreola bringing the story to life inside. A fitting read as DC celebrated 75 years of Batman in 2015.
