Superman Adventures #22

Superman strains against a tangle of mechanical cables and restraints while energy blasts spark against his chest — the cover of Superman Adventures #22 captures the Man of Steel in a genuinely tough spot, with the tagline "Fortress Attack!" hinting at serious trouble ahead. Rick Burchett's pencils and Terry Austin's inks bring the animated-series aesthetic to life beautifully, with bold lines and vivid colors that feel right at home in 1998. With Mark Millar writing and Aluir Amâncio on interior art, "War Games Part 1" looks like a promising start to a new storyline.
