Green Lantern #23.1

This 2013 DC Comics "Villains Month" special puts Relic front and center — the imposing, pale-skinned cosmic threat looms large across the cover, his mechanical arm bristling with equipment and scattered power rings tumbling at his feet, while a Green Lantern struggles against energy chains in the background. The cover by Billy Tan captures the scale of Relic's menace beautifully, with a burning alien sky setting a suitably dire mood. Robert Venditti's "Fall of the Lightsmiths" promises a deep dive into one of the New 52's most compelling cosmic antagonists.
