Green Lantern: New Guardians #12

Part of DC's New 52 initiative, this October 2012 installment of Green Lantern: New Guardians promises a major revelation right on the cover — "The Great Lie Exposed!" — building genuine anticipation for Tony Bedard's story "In the Name of Love." The cover by Tyler Kirkham and Matt Banning puts a green-costumed, green-skinned figure front and center, straining with tremendous effort as crackling energy surges from both fists around a massive, glowing device. It's a striking, visceral image that captures the cosmic scale and raw intensity this series delivers month after month.
