Injustice: Gods Among Us #7

Subtitled "Inner Turmoil," this September 2013 chapter of Injustice: Gods Among Us delivers a striking cover by Mico Suayan that says everything about the tension at the series' heart — a young boy in street clothes shouts up defiantly at the armored, lightning-wreathed form of Shazam, with electricity crackling between them against a stormy sky. The contrast between the powerless kid and the godlike champion looming above him makes for a genuinely arresting image. With Tom Taylor writing and a three-artist team including Kevin Maguire, Tom Derenick, and Neil Googe bringing the interiors to life, this tie-in to the acclaimed fighting game continues to show why the series earned its devoted following.
