Death of the New Gods #5

From Jim Starlin and Matt Banning's cover, Superman and a glowing, green-costumed figure locked in fierce combat dominate this fifth installment of DC's 2008 limited series — the tagline "Son of Krypton vs. Son of Apokolips" makes the stakes unmistakably clear. Massive hands and a dropped hammer crowd the foreground, suggesting the battle has drawn in forces far larger than even the Man of Steel. With the New Gods' saga racing toward its conclusion, "Mistakes" promises the kind of cosmic confrontation that only this series could deliver.
