Superman / Batman #73

Superman and Batman dive headlong through a wall of fire toward Lois Lane, who stands vulnerable amid a crowd of panicked civilians — it's a striking cover by Fabrizio Fiorentino that sets the stakes for this "Lois Lane: Sacrifice!" story right away. Paul Levitz and Jerry Ordway bring the World's Finest duo together in 2010 for what promises to be a tense, high-stakes chapter with DC's most famous reporter at its center. If you enjoy stories where the heroes are clearly racing against the clock, this issue's cover alone makes a compelling case.
