Superman: The Kryptonite Spectrum #5

The penultimate chapter of this DC Black Label miniseries arrives with a cover that stops you cold: a grayscale Superman stares wide-eyed at his own hands, each finger tipped in a vivid rainbow hue — the only color on an otherwise drained, unsettling image. W. Maxwell Prince and Martín Morazzo, the acclaimed team behind Ice Cream Man, bring that same quietly eerie sensibility to the Man of Steel, and this striking visual — spectrum colors bleeding onto a powerless-looking Clark — captures the series' unsettling premise beautifully. If the first four books have been building toward something, this cover suggests the reckoning is close at hand.
