Green Lantern Corps #35

Sinestro dominates this 2009 "Prelude to Blackest Night" chapter, rendered in blazing yellows and golds by cover artists Patrick Gleason and Rebecca Buchman as he strides forward with arms outstretched, his Sinestro Corps emblem burning at the center of his chest. The composition radiates menace and purpose, framing him against a sunburst backdrop that feels both triumphant and ominous. Part three of "Emerald Eclipse," this issue from Peter J. Tomasi and Gleason keeps the tension building as the Corps inches closer to one of DC's most ambitious crossover events.
