“Torment Part 6 Release”

The cover of Superman/Batman #42 pulls no punches: Darkseid looms dominant at center, his massive fist raised as a battered Superman reels backward and a fallen Batman crumples to the side — the cover text "Darkseid Victorious!" making the power dynamic unmistakably clear. Dustin Nguyen and Derek Fridolfs deliver a striking image that captures the brutal weight of the "Torment" arc's sixth and final chapter. Writer Alan Burnett brings this confrontation to its conclusion in 2008, and the promise of "Release" in the title suggests the World's Finest duo has been pushed to their absolute limits to get here.
