Final Crisis: Secret Files #1

"Balancing Act!" from Final Crisis: Secret Files #1 (2009) dives into the high-stakes game of cosmic power, where Justin Ballantine—once shaped by Glorious Godfrey and now drawn into Darkseid’s latest design—must navigate the volatile balance between ambition and consequence. Written by Len Wein and illustrated by Tony Shasteen, with colors by Alex Bleyaert and letters by Rob Leigh, the story unfolds with the weight of the New Gods' gaze ever present. Frank Quitely’s striking cover captures the tension of a man teetering on the edge of power, as the fate of the stars hangs in the balance.
