Superman #219

Sacrifice, Part One" kicks off in Superman #219 (2005) with a cover by Ed Benes that puts the Man of Steel in immediate, brutal peril — a green-skinned, third-eyed villain in a purple suit has Superman locked in a crushing grip, both figures hurtling through an explosive burst of orange energy. Written by Mark Verheiden with interior art by Ed Benes, this OMAC Project tie-in promises that the crossover event has very personal consequences for Clark Kent. If you've been following DC's 2005 line-wide story, this is a chapter you won't want to skip.
