Superman: Dark Knight Over Metropolis #[nn]
In "Skeeter," Dan Jurgens crafts a gripping tale of four astronauts whose lives are upended when their ship is struck by mysterious radiation, granting them powers that don’t bring unity—just chaos. As their transformation strains their bonds, Superman and Lois Lane share a quiet, charged moment that hints at deeper currents beneath the surface. The story unfolds with sharp pacing and emotional weight, illustrated with precision by Jurgens and enhanced by Dick Giordano’s inks and Glenn Whitmore’s colors. Arthur Adams’ striking cover captures the tension perfectly, setting the tone for a story where power doesn’t equal control.
