Superman / Batman #69

Part of the "Our Worlds at War: Aftermath" event, Superman/Batman #69 delivers a striking cover by Ardian Syaf and Vicente Cifuentes that puts the World's Finest duo right in the thick of chaos — Batman looming overhead with a batarang raised, while Superman unleashes his heat vision against a gold-and-red armored opponent amid a backdrop of fire and a partially visible Daily Planet globe. Writer Joe Casey continues "The Big Noise" with part two, "Benediction Redux," with interior art again from Syaf and Cifuentes making this a visually cohesive package. If you enjoy seeing Superman and Batman pushed to their limits against a formidable adversary, this 2010 issue makes a compelling case for itself right from the cover alone.
