In "It's the Falls That'll Kill Ya!", Jimmy Olsen finds himself fired—again—only to be dragged back into the Daily Planet when Perry White realizes the chaos Jimmy causes is exactly what keeps readers coming back. Written by Matt Fraction and brought to life with sharp, kinetic art by Steve Lieber, this 2019 issue captures Jimmy’s chaotic energy and the paper’s desperate, love-hate relationship with its most unreliable reporter. The cover by Steve Lieber perfectly mirrors the issue’s tone—wry, energetic, and full of motion.
