Batman / Superman: Futures End #1

Part of DC's 2014 New 52: Futures End event, this one-shot pulls Batman and Superman into a darker tomorrow with a cover by Aaron Kuder that sets an ominous, brooding tone. The image zeroes in on a sleek, bat-winged vehicle — angular and predatory — caught in a fiery burst of light within what appears to be a cavernous space, suggesting both power and peril in equal measure. Writer Greg Pak and artists Cliff Richards and Jack Herbert bring the story "Undone" to life, making this a self-contained snapshot of the World's Finest in a future that clearly hasn't gone according to plan.
