Oh, I won't ask for much this Benes
I won't even wish for old
And it's best Kara's seen on prelim
Super sweet the missle shows

I won't Fatalist and send it
To the pencils are great inks
I won't even say Matrix to
Hear what comic reader thinks

'Cause I just want two here tonight
Drawings on this piece so tight
What more is there two?
Miki, all this art of Benes for you
You, Miki

Cover prelims are cool for multiple reasons, one of them being that they sometimes show us ideas that never made it to the published covers, like this one does. I love the homage to Action Comics #252, but dude, you REALLY need to rescan the finished cover!

Nice work adding the prelim to a published cover you already own (which is really nice!).

The pencils feel more like another Ed (McGuinness..that is).. because of the chunkyness. Very nice pick up!
