Superman #152

The title says it all — Superman is absolutely furious in this January 2000 issue, and Dwayne Turner and Danny Miki's cover delivers that energy in full force. The Man of Steel is caught mid-punch, cape billowing, driving his fist into a yellow-skinned, purple-suited armored villain amid a storm of shattered debris and crumbling cityscape. Writer Jeph Loeb and artist Mike McKone bring their talents to "Deadline U.S.A.," and this cover sets an appropriately intense, hard-hitting tone for whatever confrontation lies inside.
