Crime Syndicate #[nn]

In "The New Deal Part I: Strange Visitor," the Crime Syndicate’s grip on Earthtightens as internal power struggles erupt—Johnny Quick and Atomica unleash a brutal rampage, Emerald Knight seizes control of Coast City, and Owlman and Superwoman turn to Ultraman to consolidate their dominance. Meanwhile, Alexander Luthor begins assembling a counter-team of heroes, setting the stage for a clash of ideologies. Written by Andy Schmidt and illustrated by Kieran McKeown, with inks by Dexter Vines, colors by Steve Oliff and Dan Kemp, and letters by Rob Leigh, the issue’s dynamic art and escalating tension are captured in a striking cover by Jim Cheung.
