Superman #52

Part eight of "The Final Days of Superman" arrives in July 2016 with a cover by Mikel Janín that crackles with urgency — Superman strains to protect a fallen woman while Batman fights at his side, Supergirl flies in from above, and a blazing energy figure hovers at the center of a firestorm that engulfs them all. Written by Peter J. Tomasi with art by Mikel Janín and Miguel Sepulveda, this concluding chapter of DC's crossover event brings together the Man of Steel's closest allies for what the title bluntly promises will be a "Do or Die" confrontation. With the entire cover awash in fire and the stakes written plainly in the banner above, it's hard not to feel the weight pressing down on every character visible here.
