Final Crisis: Requiem #1

Martian Manhunter stands wreathed in roaring flames against a fiery red sky on this striking 2008 DC one-shot, his red-eyed gaze and outstretched hands projecting both power and solemnity. The "Final Crisis: Requiem" title frames Doug Mahnke and Christian Alamy's cover perfectly, setting a tone of mourning and grandeur for Peter J. Tomasi's story "Caretakers of Mars." It's a compelling, elegantly composed tribute that any DC fan will want on their shelf.
