H-E-R-O #22

The final chapter of "Picking Up The Pieces" arrives with a fittingly crowded, kinetic cover by Eaglesham and von Grawbadger: a battered, wild-eyed civilian thrusts the glowing H-E-R-O dial skyward while a crowd of costumed figures — including a lightning-charged blonde heroine, an armored blue-and-gold hero, a rocky stone-skinned bruiser, a caped woman, and a small spherical robot-like figure — surge and swirl around him in a chaotic burst of energy. The bold "THE END" banner says it all — this is issue #22, the series finale, and Will Pfeifer's run on DC's power-sharing saga closes here. For anyone who has followed the dial's journey through ordinary hands, this is a satisfying, visually packed send-off.
