In "Fetch," Mark Buckingham's deeply personal storytelling shines as Jor-El, burdened by failure, shares a quiet, heartfelt moment with Lara on Krypton, offering her solace in the uncertain fate of their son, Kal-El. The emotional weight of that final goodbye is rendered with striking clarity by Buckingham’s art and Lee Loughridge’s subtle coloring, all framed by Amanda Conner’s poignant cover.
