Blackest Night: Superman #2

The second chapter of DC's 2009 Blackest Night: Superman miniseries delivers one of its most unsettling covers: a decayed, reanimated figure looms large with clawed hands outstretched, while a bloodied Supergirl lies helpless beneath its shadow, her face bearing grim wounds. Eddy Barrows's cover art captures the horror-soaked tone of the Blackest Night crossover with striking intensity, putting the Man of Steel's world firmly in the grip of something far darker than a typical super-villain threat. Written by James Robinson with interior art by Barrows and Ruy José, this middle chapter of the three-part story promises the tension is only going to deepen.
