Superman: Metropolis #2

Superman: Metropolis #2 takes the City of Tomorrow in a quietly human direction, with Danijel Žeželj's cover framing a young man — camera in hand — gazing up at a triptych of intimate moments: stone figures embracing, a couple sharing a tender kiss in cool grays, and that same kiss rendered in warm reds and oranges. The tagline "Love Springs Eternal" sets the tone perfectly for Chuck Austen's story, suggesting that even in a city defined by extraordinary heroes, it's the ordinary pull of romance that keeps beating at its heart. A thoughtful, visually striking second issue from this 2003 DC series.
