This page bursts back into the aftermath with real dramatic weight! Perkins opens with a flurry of panicked faces and flying debris. Supermans emergence from the wreckage is a standout moment. His battered, almost smoldering presence sells just how hard the blast hit. His closeup is pure grit, the inks tightening around his squinting expression to show both pain and resolve.
