Superman: Birthright #6
In "Home Is Where the Hurt Is," Clark Kent confronts a startling moment of disconnect when Lex Luthor, seemingly unaware of their shared past, denies any memory of Smallville or even Clark himself—despite the years they’ve known each other. Written by Mark Waid and brought to life by Leinil Francis Yu’s dynamic art, this issue deepens the emotional stakes of Clark’s dual identity with quiet, powerful tension. The cover, by Yu and Alanguilan, captures the weight of that moment in a single, haunting image.
