DC Universe by Dwayne McDuffie #[nn]

In "Political Asylum! Part 1 of Four: Damage Control," Dwayne McDuffie and Renato Guedes deliver a quiet, poignant moment between Jonathan and Martha Kent as they grapple with Clark’s sudden disappearance during the Last Son arc. Flashing back to a long-ago adventure when young Clark and his father secretly flew to the Fortress of Solitude and faced a cosmic threat with a Sun-Eater, the story reveals a rare glimpse of Superman’s courage and the bond that has always grounded him. The issue’s emotional core is underscored by Guedes’ expressive art and a stunning cover featuring contributions from a legendary lineup of artists including Pop Mhan, Mike Wieringo, Denys Cowan, and Val Semeiks.
