Supergirl #6

From the New 52 comes this striking sixth issue of Supergirl, with a cover by Mahmud Asrar that pulls no punches: Kara floats unconscious and wounded above a crumbling cityscape, a blade still embedded near her shoulder, her red-and-blue costume battered against a backdrop of glassy skyscrapers. The tagline "Who Awaits Supergirl at Death's Door?!" promises high stakes from the writing team of Michael Green and Mike Johnson. It's a beautifully unsettling image that captures the New 52's grittier take on the Girl of Steel at her most vulnerable.
