Adam Hughes - Superman Returns Prequel: Ma Kent

I saw this in Adam's portfolio and was drawn in to the emotionality of the page, before Allison shared that it was done as cover art for the Superman Returns Prequel series and that the woman featured in the piece is Ma Kent.

The raw emotion was visceral at the very first glance and I am just now sitting with the thought that this is exactly what I'd imagine a mother looks like, after seeing her son go off to put himself in danger for others.
