Superman #116 brings the "Bottle City" trilogy to its dramatic conclusion, and the cover by Ron Frenz and Joe Rubinstein says it all — a wide-eyed, visibly strained Man of Steel spirals helplessly toward a glowing, miniaturized city encased in a bottle at the center of a swirling vortex. The image captures a Superman who looks genuinely overwhelmed, his cape billowing as he reaches out toward the tiny crystalline city below him. Dan Jurgens, Frenz, and Rubinstein deliver a part three that promises high stakes right from the cover.
