Superman / Batman #78

Superman and Batman charge forward on this Ed Benes cover, surrounded by a rogues' gallery that includes Lex Luthor, Metallo, the Joker, Scarecrow, Doomsday, and a looming monstrous figure — all rendered with Benes's kinetic, detail-packed linework. The cover itself teases that whatever lurks inside poses "a greater threat than anything on this cover," a delightfully cheeky promise that sets the tone for Joe Kelly's story, "Who Would Win?" Rounding out the package is a bonus Power Girl and Huntress team-up, making this 2011 issue a genuinely packed read for fans of DC's World's Finest duo.
