Superman: The Black Ring #2

In "The Black Ring, Part Seven," the fate of Earth's last black ring hangs in the balance as Lex Luthor ventures into space, only to be interrupted by the greedy, power-hungry Larfleeze. With Glomulus in possession of the final Earth-based sphere, the two clash in a tense standoff—Luthor’s ruthless pragmatism clashing with Larfleeze’s insatiable greed—before a shocking turn sends one into a mysterious sphere. Written by Paul Cornell and illustrated by Pete Woods, with colors by Brad Anderson and letters by Rob Leigh, the issue builds toward an uncertain future. The cover, by David Finch, captures the moment with chilling precision.
