Superman: Our Worlds at War #2
In "Her Mother's Daughter," Superman faces an escalating threat as the mysterious Strange Visitor—revealed to be the cosmic guardian Kismet—makes a desperate stand to empower him against the unstoppable Imperiex. Written by Jeph Loeb and brought to life with dynamic art by Ed McGuinness and Bill Sienkiewicz, this pivotal issue sees the tide of battle shift in unexpected ways when Warworld, under Brainiac 13’s control, absorbs the residual energy from Imperiex’s destruction. The cover by Mike Wieringo and José Marzán Jr. captures the moment’s intensity, while Tanya and Richard Horie’s colors and Richard Starkings’ lettering heighten the stakes.
