In "Powerless," Superman faces a rare vulnerability when his powers are unexpectedly diminished, testing his limits even with the Justice League's support. After a tense encounter with thugs leaves him injured, a subtle clue he leaves behind hints at something deeper—something Lois might just notice. Written and illustrated by John Romita Jr., with inks by Klaus Janson, colors by Dean White, and letters by Travis Lanham, this 2015 issue features a cover by Romita Jr. and Janson that captures the moment’s weight.
