Green Lantern #52

This July 2016 issue closes out a chapter of Robert Venditti's run with a cover by Howard Porter that crackles with raw will power — Hal Jordan's ring-bearing fist thrusts toward the viewer, his masked face contorted with effort as wild green energy arcs and shatters the space around him. It's a visceral, up-close composition that puts you right in the middle of the intensity, perfectly suited to a story titled "Agents of Gray." With Tan, Irwin, and Alex Sinclair handling the interior art, this one looks to deliver the kind of cosmic-scale tension that keeps Green Lantern fans coming back issue after issue.
