Batman & Superman #9

In "The Broken Bat," the aftermath of Superman's death grips Metropolis as Paul Westfield moves to seize both Superman and Doomsday's bodies for Cadmus—only to face resistance from the Metropolis S.C.U. and Lex Luthor. With the world still reeling from the loss, tensions rise over who gets to control the legacy of the Man of Steel. Written by Roger Stern and illustrated by Jackson Guice, with inks by Denis Rodier, colors by Glenn Whitmore, and letters by Bill Oakley, the issue's haunting cover by Kelley Jones captures the weight of a fallen hero.
