Superman #12

Superman #12 from DC's New 52 line puts the Man of Steel in a genuinely harrowing spot — coiled and straining against a mass of writhing green tentacles crackling with golden energy, all beneath the ominous tagline "Gateway to Terror!" Dan Jurgens and Norm Rapmund's cover crackles with tension, surrounding Superman in a swirling chaos of alien tendrils as arcs of electricity light up the background in vivid purples and yellows. It's a striking 2012 chapter in Jurgens's run on the title, with interior art by Jurgens and Jesús Merino bringing the story "Home" to life.
