Superman #225

Part of DC's 2006 Infinite Crisis crossover event, this issue finds Superman in a striking visual situation — the cover by Ed Benes and Mariah Benes depicts multiple versions of the Man of Steel surging forward in an unsettling hall-of-mirrors effect, fists clenched, while a dark-haired woman in green reacts with alarm at his side. The image captures a sense of fractured identity and urgency that feels perfectly suited to a reality-shaking crossover. With Mark Verheiden scripting "To Be a Hero" and Ed Benes handling interior art, this is a compelling chapter in one of Superman's most turbulent years.
