Superman The New 52 Comic Book April 2014 Volume 52 in Excellent Condition, See Photos. This powerful cover highlights Superman #28, a standout issue from The New 52 era published in April 2014 (with an in-store release in February). The artwork, illustrated by Brett Booth with inks by Norm Rapmund, features a visually arresting "earthy" texture where the Man of Steel is seen erupting from rock and stone, his heat vision flaring with intense energy. This design choice mirrors the gritty, high-stakes tone of the "Under Fire" story arc written by Scott Lobdell. In this chapter, the narrative balances Clark Kent's personal life—dealing with financial struggles and an unexpected roommate in Jimmy Olsen—with cosmic mysteries, such as a strange, hovering doorway in Earth's orbit and a surprise confrontation with Starfire.
The composition is iconic for its vertical energy, showing Superman lifting a massive, crumbling stone version of his own logo, symbolizing the weight of his legacy and the physical toll of his ongoing battles. As part of the Volume 3 numbering for the series, this issue is a key example of the detailed, hyper-kinetic art style that defined the later years of the New 52. It captures a moment in DC history where Superman's world was being reshaped by both psychic threats and ancient alien races, making it a significant addition to any modern collection focused on the evolution of the Last Son of Krypton.
