Infinity Inc. #7

Lex Luthor looms at the center of this striking 2008 cover, his cold, calculating gaze staring out from a stack of interconnected television monitors — a man who controls the message as surely as he controls everything else. Surrounding him on those screens are members of his Infinity Inc. team, including a red-costumed figure with a mohawk, a woman in a dark athletic outfit with braided hair, and a masked figure in yellow and black, all framed like broadcasts under his watchful eye. Peter Milligan and Matt Camp continue "The Influencing Machines of Metropolis" with Max Fiumara's sharp, unsettling cover art perfectly capturing the theme of surveillance, power, and manufactured heroism.
