Aquaman #43

Against a blazing red silhouette of a mysterious female figure, Aquaman — trident raised and expression fierce — is caught in the middle of a brutal, chaotic clash alongside a dark-haired woman in blue, while a massive purple brute, a shark, a cloaked figure wielding a staff, and other monstrous combatants swarm the scene. The cover by Trevor McCarthy is a genuinely arresting piece of 2015 DC Comics art, packed with kinetic energy and a real sense of overwhelming odds. "Gospel of Destruction" sounds like exactly the kind of deep-sea powder keg this crowded, tension-soaked image promises.
