Supergirl #27

Supergirl looks genuinely shaken on this May 2008 cover, recoiling amid a chaotic urban setting as a disturbingly fluid, half-dissolved Superman looms behind her — his face twisted in anguish — while the silhouette of Batman lurks ominously in the upper left. The tagline "The Shape of Things to Come" sets an unsettling tone that pairs perfectly with the cover's sense of something deeply wrong in Kara's world. With Kelley Puckett writing and cover art by Drew Johnson and Ray Snyder, this chapter of "The Girl of Tomorrow" promises the kind of superhero unease that keeps you turning pages.
