Lab Rats #5

Superman dominates the cover of Lab Rats #5 (October 2002), striding through a smoke-filled, rubble-strewn cityscape while cradling a frail, white-haired figure in his arms — his expression one of strained urgency as scattered survivors scramble in the background. The bold cover blurb "Superman Found!" promises that this chapter of John Byrne's series brings the Man of Steel directly into the orbit of the Lab Rats' chaotic world. Byrne handles both the writing and cover art here, delivering a striking image that makes "The Man of Tomorrow" feel like a pivotal convergence.
