Something is clearly weighing on the Man of Steel. This striking cover by Ed McGuinness and Cam Smith presents Superman from behind — massive fists clenched, cape hanging, and head turned slightly as if steeling himself against an unseen burden — against a deep crimson background that perfectly underscores the issue's "Turmoil!" subtitle. Writer Jeph Loeb and artist Ian Churchill deliver "A Little Help" in January 2002, promising a Superman wrestling with something larger than any physical threat.
