Batman / Superman #7

This New 52 chapter of Batman/Superman delivers a cover that pulls no punches — Superman is seized mid-air, cape whipping upward, while a dark-clad figure grapples him from below, all overshadowed by the looming, massive form of a green-skinned powerhouse dominating the foreground. Brett Booth and Norm Rapmund's cover crackles with kinetic energy, the shattering debris and golden environment lending the confrontation a genuinely epic scale. With Greg Pak at the helm for "Endgame," issue #7 looks like exactly the kind of high-stakes clash fans of both heroes were hoping for in 2014.
