Superman #679

In "The Coming of Atlas Part 3: All That's Red and Blue Falls Down," Superman battles the seemingly unstoppable Atlas across the streets of Metropolis, his strength inexplicably failing him. As Lois and Jimmy watch in alarm, Lana Lang struggles to intervene from LexCorp—her hands tied by contract—while a mysterious figure observes from above, captured in a photograph by Jimmy. When Supergirl arrives to help, she’s struck by a mysterious energy beam from a satellite, setting off a chain of events that will test the limits of hope and resolve. Written by James Robinson and illustrated by Renato Guedes, with inks by Jose Wilson Magalhaes, colors by Hi-Fi, and letters by John J. Hill, this 2008 issue features a cover by Alex Ross, whose striking artwork captures the moment of tension and dread.
