Superman #6

Part of DC's New 52 initiative, Superman #6 presents a deeply unsettling cover image by George Pérez: a snarling Superman looms over a fallen Supergirl amid a crowd of panicked onlookers, fires burning in the city behind them and a helicopter hovering overhead. The tagline — "When he turns bad… RUN!" — frames the Man of Steel not as protector but as threat, making this a genuinely gripping entry in the 2012 relaunch. With a creative team that includes Nicola Scott, Trevor Scott, and a host of seasoned talents, this is a well-crafted chapter in the early days of the New 52 Superman.
