Superman Annual #3

This 2016 annual brings together a powerhouse team of writers — Greg Pak, Peter J. Tomasi, Aaron Kuder, and Gene Luen Yang — alongside artists Dan Jurgens, Rafa Sandoval, and Bill Sienkiewicz, all united under the "Savage Dawn" banner. The cover by Ardian Syaf and Vicente Cifuentes sets a fierce tone: a battered, costume-torn Superman throws himself into brutal combat against a formidable dark-haired armored figure, both combatants mid-swing against a backdrop of stars and shattered earth. At $4.99, this oversized annual promises a lot of story to match the raw intensity on display.
