Green Lantern #16

Part of the sprawling "Rise of the Third Army" crossover, this March 2013 issue of DC's New 52 Green Lantern series delivers a striking cover by Doug Mahnke — a lone Lantern, glowing with fierce green energy and clutching a power lantern, surges forward against a massive horde of the pale, hollow-eyed Third Army creatures pressing in from every direction. The sheer scale of that encroaching threat makes the hero's defiant charge feel all the more urgent. With Geoff Johns at the helm and Mahnke's sharp linework throughout, issue #16 is a vivid chapter in one of the New 52's most ambitious cosmic sagas.
