Superman: The Man of Steel #23

Part six of DC's sprawling 1993 "Reign of the Supermen!" saga arrives with a cover that makes the stakes immediately clear: the armored, blue-caped Iron John squares off in a street-level power struggle against the young, red-jacketed Metropolis Kid, who comes in flying with a confident smirk. Jon Bogdanove and Dennis Janke frame the confrontation with real kinetic energy — crumpled cars, bold colors, and two very different takes on the Superman legacy colliding head-on. Louise Simonson scripts the action inside, making this an essential chapter for anyone following one of 1993's most ambitious DC storylines.
