In "For Those Who Serve," Mark Russell and Bryan Hitch deliver a quietly powerful tale where Superman faces two urgent calls: first, a mysterious Atlantean Sea Bug disrupting Metropolis, and then a desperate plea from an isolated elderly man. With his signature compassion, Superman chooses empathy over force, proving that heroism isn’t just in the act of saving lives, but in giving them meaning. The story’s emotional core is matched by Jorge Jiménez’s striking cover, capturing the weight of connection in a single moment.
