Green Lantern #20

Billed as "The Epic Finale" of the "Wrath of the First Lantern" crossover, this special oversized anniversary issue brings Geoff Johns' celebrated New 52 Green Lantern run to a close with a cover by Doug Mahnke that crackles with cosmic energy. A determined Green Lantern lunges forward in the foreground while a crackling, vein-streaked figure — arms outstretched and surrounded by swirling orange and blue energy — looms behind him, planets and lightning arcing between them. With an all-star artistic lineup including Ivan Reis, Ethan Van Sciver, Patrick Gleason, and many more contributing to "The End," this 2013 issue is a genuine send-off worthy of the saga it closes.
