“Menace!”

The cover of this New 52 entry splits dramatically down the middle, pairing an icy, blue-energy being against a fiery, molten-faced adversary — elemental opposites locked in tension, with a massive fist thrusting forward to drive the threat home. Titled "Attack of the Superpowers!," issue #5 of DC's relaunched Superman series promises a collision of raw, elemental forces bearing down on the Man of Steel. George Pérez handles both pencils and inks on this striking cover, while the interior story "Menace!" is brought to life by artist Nicola Scott and inker Trevor Scott.

Something looking much like Superman -- but with the fire, freezing, and invisibility powers of the aliens he recently faced -- starts to take more permanent measures to eliminate Superman's recent problems, including threatening the life of Billy McCoy. But it may not be the real Man of Steel.
