“More Pain Comics, Part One: Descent into the Psychosphere”

Doctor Fate dominates this opening chapter of DC's 2007 eight-issue series, his golden helmet and swirling black-and-gold cloak filling the cover as he surges forward against a dusky sky, with a lone castle turret looming in the background below him. The cover by Justiniano promises "Madness, Magic and Mayhem" from both Doctor Fate and Eclipso, setting an appropriately eerie, mystical tone for Steve Gerber's story "More Pain Comics, Part One: Descent into the Psychosphere." It's a visually compelling launch to what looks like a moody, supernatural corner of the DC Universe.
