Batman / Superman #6

The massive, battle-scarred Mongul dominates this cover, hoisting a battered Batman overhead while a wounded Superman struggles on the rubble-strewn ground below — all set against a backdrop of fire and destruction that makes it clear the World's Finest are in serious trouble. Subtitled "The Rage of Mongul," this February 2014 New 52 issue from writer Greg Pak and artists Brett Booth and Norm Rapmund pits DC's two greatest heroes against one of the DC Universe's most physically overwhelming villains. If you've been following this series, issue #6 promises the kind of high-stakes confrontation that makes team-up books genuinely thrilling.
