Superman: Secret Origin #3

The Daily Planet globe looms large behind Clark Kent as he strides forward in suit and briefcase, flanked by what appear to be Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen, and Perry White in Gary Frank's warm, grounded cover art for this third chapter of the six-part series. The story title "Mild-Mannered Reporter" says it all — this is the chapter where Geoff Johns explores Clark finding his footing in Metropolis, and the assembled cast of Planet staffers surrounding him gives the cover an endearing, ensemble feel. A confident, character-driven entry in one of 2010's most ambitious Superman retellings.
