Batman #35

Batman stands at the center of this striking New 52 cover, cape sweeping dramatically as he faces down the entire Justice League — Superman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Aquaman, and Cyborg all surging toward him along a vivid green energy streak. It's a bold visual statement that sets the stage for "Endgame, Part One," promising serious stakes when the Dark Knight finds himself squaring off against his most powerful allies. Greg Capullo and Danny Miki deliver a dynamic, kinetic composition that makes this December 2014 issue hard to put back on the shelf.
