Superman #49

A determined, powered-down Superman — in civilian blue shirt rather than his full costume — surges forward with fist raised and eyes glowing, clutching something small and red as an enormous green planetary entity looms behind him. Surrounding that colossal figure is a dense crowd of armored warriors, sword-wielding combatants, and other alien threats, making this Howard Porter cover a genuinely striking image of one hero standing against overwhelming odds. Writer Gene Luen Yang and artist Jack Herbert bring "Sacrifice" to life in this April 2016 chapter of the Man of Steel's ongoing saga.
