Superman #23

Part of the 2017 "Black Dawn" arc, this issue of DC Universe Rebirth's Superman delivers a gut-punch image courtesy of cover artist Ryan Sook: a wide-eyed Superboy in jeans, sneakers, and his familiar half-cape tumbles helplessly through white void, the single word "POWERLESS" blazed across the bottom in raw, hand-painted red. It's a striking, minimalist composition that makes the boy's vulnerability feel immediate and genuine. With Peter J. Tomasi and Patrick Gleason at the helm alongside artist Doug Mahnke, this chapter promises high emotional stakes for the young son of Superman.
