Superman: Man of Tomorrow #1
In "Power Play," Superman faces a new kind of threat in Metropolis, where a shadowy Gambler is turning the city’s fate into a high-stakes game—betting on when and where Superman will intervene, then manipulating events to ensure no one wins but the house. Written by Robert Venditti and illustrated by Paul Pelletier, with inks by Drew Hennessy and colors by Adriano Lucas, this issue blends civic tension with a clever, unseen adversary. The cover by Rafa Sandoval and Jordi Tarragona captures the sleek, dangerous allure of the game at the heart of the story.
