Day of Judgment #[nn]
In "The Summoning," Geoff Johns and Matt Smith lead a pivotal moment in the *Day of Judgment* saga as Earth’s heroes split into three desperate missions: defending the planet, reigniting Hell’s fires, and seeking Heaven’s aid to free Jim Corrigan from the Spectre’s burden. When Heaven denies their plea, the team is sent to Purgatory—where they’re met by the unexpected presence of Hal Jordan’s soul, setting the stage for a confrontation that redefines what it means to be a hero. The cover by Matthew Dow Smith and Steve Mitchell captures the weight of that moment in stark, haunting detail.
