Superman #40

Two silhouetted figures — one tall in Superman's cape and symbol, one small and similarly caped beside him — stand together facing a massive, shattering explosion framed across three towering panels of crystal, with jagged shards scattered all around them. The tagline "History of Destruction!" sets a weighty, ominous tone for "The Last Days, Part One," and Viktor Bogdanovic's cover art delivers that mood with striking restraint, letting silhouette and light do the heavy lifting. James Robinson and Doug Mahnke are on board for what promises to be a consequential chapter in Superman's 2018 run.
