Superman: The Man of Tomorrow #7

In "Hero or Villain?", Superman faces a fierce challenge when the powerful alien Maxima returns, determined to claim him as her mate—only to be met with refusal. When her rage threatens innocent lives, Superman steps in to stop her, leading to a tense confrontation that forces Maxima into an unexpected moment of reckoning. Written by Roger Stern and brought to life by Paul Ryan’s dynamic art, with inks by Brett Breeding and vibrant colors by Glenn Whitmore and Digital Chameleon, this 1997 issue delivers a bold exploration of power, pride, and the cost of choice. The cover, also by Paul Ryan and Brett Breeding, captures the intensity of the moment.
