Superman: The City of Tomorrow #2
In "The Private Life of Clark Kent," Superman tries to balance his dual identity in Metropolis, only to be pulled into a new crisis when the Parasite resurfaces. With Wonder Woman's aid, he halts the villain's rampage, but the confrontation leaves unresolved tensions—especially when Lois, unsettled by Lana’s visit, storms off toward Lex Luthor. Jeph Loeb’s storytelling, brought to life by Ed McGuinness’s dynamic art and Cam Smith’s inks, captures the emotional weight of Clark’s personal struggles, while Terry Dodson and Mark Farmer deliver a striking cover that hints at the storm brewing beneath the surface.
