Superman #28

Superman #28 brings raw, elemental power to the New 52 with a cover by Ed Benes that commands immediate attention — the Man of Steel stands arms raised, heat vision blazing from his eyes as massive chunks of rock and debris explode outward around him, his red cape billowing dramatically against a fiery amber sky. It's a striking image of Superman pushed to his limits, muscles straining against forces that would level anyone else. Writer Scott Lobdell, artist Brett Booth, and inker Norm Rapmund deliver "Under Fire" — a title that the cover makes feel thoroughly earned.
