Brightest Day #7

Deadman looms large on this striking 2010 cover — his ghostly face and red-and-black costume crackling with white energy as the gleaming White Lantern hovers just within reach. The cover's burning question, "Will Deadman Wield the White Lantern?", sets a compelling tone for "The Secret of Life," written by Geoff Johns and Peter J. Tomasi. David Finch's pencils and Scott Williams' inks give the scene a raw, electric intensity that fits perfectly within DC's sprawling Brightest Day event.
