There's one in issue #14 of the Punisher series currently on its Last Days.
It's the end of Frank Castle's face-off with the Howling Commandos (US black ops men, not SHIELD monsters).
As the streets ran red with the works of gangs, the Punisher confronted those who wanted him so badly, they'd kidnapped his only surviving family to lure him out.
He fought them in the hotel they were holed up in.
( He was doing a good job of it. )

I've also been critical of the latest changes in Superman, making him just a somewhat stronger action hero, almost powerless, the loss of the Clark Kent identity, etc...
But it's only fair to point out--the best thing is a balance. Let's look at the other side--an interesting, but VERY compressed story, by Gardner Fox, with enough details and subplots for a half-dozen stories..where Superman showed, pretty definitely, who's the toughest JLAer on the team in the late sixties...which considering, at the time, he could move worlds, travel in time, bask in the heart of suns...is not surprising.
