Green Lantern #103

Chapter three of the six-part "Emerald Knights" saga assembles a remarkable roster on this Jeff Johnson and Bob Wiacek cover: Kyle Rayner's Green Lantern charges front and center, fists raised, while Superman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Batman, Aquaman, Martian Manhunter, and a host of other heroes — including a purple-clad figure and an armored Cyborg — surge into action around him. The sheer density of DC's finest crowding the frame makes a persuasive case for the scale of whatever threat has drawn them together under the "Strange Bedfellows" banner. With Ron Marz writing and Anthony Williams and Jeff Johnson sharing art duties, this 1998 issue promises the kind of sprawling superhero teamwork that makes multi-part crossovers genuinely satisfying.
