Superboy and the Ravers #9

The Ravers' road trip rolls into Metropolis for part three, and this Paul Pelletier and Dan Davis cover captures the chaos perfectly — Superboy throws down in the foreground against a cluster of rough-looking opponents, while a crackling, energy-wreathed figure hovers dramatically above the city streets. It's a punchy, kinetic image that makes the most of the urban backdrop, with rubble flying and a nighttime Metropolis skyline looming behind the brawl. Karl Kesel and Steve Mattsson's series was hitting its stride in 1997, and this issue looks like a satisfying stop on what's shaping up to be a wild team road trip.
