Green Lantern #60

Part of DC's 2011 "Brightest Day" crossover, Green Lantern #60 delivers a cover by Gary Frank that crackles with urgency: Hal Jordan's ring blazes green as he grapples with a corrupted Flash, whose red suit is engulfed in orange lightning and bearing the unmistakable mark of a yellow fear ring — the banner confirms it as "Parallax-Flash." Geoff Johns scripts with Doug Mahnke on interior art, promising the same creative chemistry that's been driving this series. The visual alone — two Justice League stalwarts locked in a collision of willpower and fear — sets up a tension that's hard to look away from.
