Batman / Superman #9

The World's Finest team is on the case in Batman/Superman #9, as the cover's bold question — "Who Killed the Atomic Skull?!" — sets up a murder mystery with serious stakes. Clayton Henry's dynamic artwork thrusts Superman and Batman forward through a burst of shattering energy, with the Atomic Skull's glowing skeletal visage exploding at the center and skeletal hands clawing in from the edges. It's a visually charged opener to "Atomic Part One," with Alejandro Sánchez's vivid colors giving the whole scene an electric, otherworldly intensity that makes this one hard to put down.
