Superman: The Man of Steel #35

Part of the sprawling 1994 "Worlds Collide" crossover between DC and Milestone Comics, this issue of Superman: The Man of Steel promises plenty of tension as the tag line "The Fall of Metropolis!" sets a dramatic tone. Jon Bogdanove and Dennis Janke's cover pulls us in close on Superman cradling an unconscious woman amid crumbling brick and debris, with a Children's Center sign toppling in the chaos behind them — an urgent snapshot of a city in crisis. With Louise Simonson writing and the intriguing blurb "Dakota Looming!" hinting at worlds about to intersect, "Afterburn" looks like a compelling chapter in this ambitious crossover event.
