Doomsday Clock #12

The twelfth and final chapter of Doomsday Clock arrives with a cover that speaks volumes through restraint — a close, almost abstract view of Superman's battered red-and-yellow costume, scattered with drops of blood and the marks of a brutal struggle. Gary Frank's artwork turns the Man of Steel's iconic colors into something quietly devastating, letting the torn, battle-worn fabric carry the full weight of this concluding chapter. It's a fittingly somber close to Geoff Johns and Frank's twelve-issue series, and "Discouraged of Man" promises an ending that earns every scratch on that suit.
