Aquaman and the Others #9

Part four of "Alignment: Earth" arrives with a cover dominated by a masked, hooded figure gripping a chain while locking arms with a goggled combatant in a fierce struggle — and a furious Aquaman looms in the background, clearly ready to get involved. Ivan Reis and Joe Prado's cover composition pulls you right into the thick of it, that bold "PAYBACK!" banner leaving little doubt that scores are about to be settled. Dan Jurgens and Lan Medina's New 52 team series is firing on all cylinders in this 2015 installment.
