Superman #650

Superman #650 kicks off the "Up, Up, and Away!" storyline with a cover that perfectly captures the tension of a double identity: Clark Kent, in his civilian shirt and glasses, stands casually in the foreground checking a device, while a massive painted mural of Superman launching skyward looms dramatically behind him. The juxtaposition, rendered with clean, confident lines by Terry Dodson and Rachel Dodson, says everything and nothing at once. With Kurt Busiek and Geoff Johns co-writing and Pete Woods on art, this "One Year Later" chapter promises a fresh and compelling chapter for the Man of Steel.
