Superman: The Man of Steel #126

A swarm of enormous, otherworldly hands — glowing in shades of blue, green, and white — reaches in from every direction toward a wide-eyed, shouting Superman at the center of the cover, and the effect is genuinely unsettling in the best possible way. Cover artist Michael Golden frames the Man of Steel as both powerful and besieged, his red cape billowing as he thrusts one fist outward against the encircling grasp. It's a striking opening image for "Pantheon Part 1: Call of the Gods," promising a story where even Superman may find himself outmatched by forces beyond the ordinary.
