Superman #27

From Scott Lobdell and artist Ed Benes, this New 52 chapter puts Superman in a desperate situation as the tagline says it all: he's "At the Mercy of the Parasite!" Ken Lashley's cover captures the threat vividly — a massive, grotesque purple Parasite looms over a woman being drained of her energy, while Superman and a frightened civilian scramble to respond. It's a tense, visceral image that makes "Feeding Frenzy" feel every bit as dire as its title promises.
