Superman #21

Tyler Kirkham's cover for this New 52 installment is genuinely unsettling: the massive, grotesque face of Hector Hammond dominates the image, his eyes blazing with fiery heat-vision energy as his enormous hands grip a Superman costume at the chest — the tagline "Hector Hammond, Man of Steel!" spelling out the disturbing implication. Scott Lobdell and Kenneth Rocafort bring their sharp storytelling instincts to a story that looks to put one of DC's creepiest telepathic villains front and center. If you've been following this New 52 Superman run, issue #21 promises a deeply strange and compelling chapter.
