H-E-R-O #13

A woman coolly shaves her face at a bathroom mirror while two stunned men look on in visible disbelief — it's a quietly arresting image that immediately signals "Changes: Part 2" has something genuinely unexpected in store. John Van Fleet's cover work captures the scene with a grounded, almost cinematic composure, letting the woman's casual confidence and the men's slack-jawed reactions do all the talking (along with her deadpan speech bubble about leaving the toilet seat down). Will Pfeifer and Leonard Kirk's 2004 DC series continues to find fresh, human angles on what it means to suddenly have superpowers, and this issue looks like no exception.
