...battlefront. We've published dozens of them across two-page spreads, including the now famous hospital photograph of Ali, an Iraqi boy who lost both arms in a U.S. bombing. We've never tried to prettify war. Sometimes, however, I saw remarkable images that I felt were too graphic to print in TIME. Case in point: a series of photos taken last spring of U.S. soldiers carefully picking up limbs of dead Iraqis after a battle northwest of Baghdad...
...objectivity of American media coverage has come in for a close bit of scrutiny. Michael Moore’s new film “Farenheit 9-11,” which won the Palme d’Or at Cannes on Saturday, has reportedly shocked many viewers with its graphic footage from Iraq—footage that is rarely shown on American news. And it’s not just Moore. The polemicists over at PBS will also be airing a documentary this July entitled “War Feels Like War,” which paints much the same...
...doing the job. Guy Womack, Graner's civilian attorney, gave TIME copies of two photos he intends to use to defend his client, who was formally charged last week on seven counts of maltreatment and committing indecent acts.

"Too much about him makes no sense." A limited-run comic called Secret Identity tells the story of a Superman who lives...
...does Superman really have a dark side? An identity even more secret than Clark Kent? A graphic novel called Red Son, written by Mark Millar, answers the question with another question: What if Superman had landed not in the wholesome bosom of Kansas but in the cold heart of Stalin's Soviet Union? Wearing a hammer and sickle on his chest instead of an S, Superman befriends Stalin and succeeds him when the Soviet leader dies. (Stalin, Millar notes astutely, is Russian for "man of steel.") With his rigid notions of right and wrong, telescopic sight and super-hearing that...
