“Crime and Punishment; [The Trial of Superman, Part 10 of 12]”

In "Crime and Punishment; [The Trial of Superman, Part 10 of 12]," Superman faces a harrowing trial before the alien Tribunal, where even his rescue of the Superman Rescue Squad by Alpha Centurion doesn’t sway their judgment. With Jon Bogdanove’s dynamic art and Louise Simonson’s gripping storytelling, the Man of Steel is pushed to his limits as he confronts the Tribunal’s unyielding decree—despite his efforts to bring justice, the verdict remains sealed. The cover by Bogdanove and Janke captures the tension of this pivotal moment in Superman’s saga.
