Injustice: Gods Among Us #8

A massive propaganda billboard dominates this 2013 cover, depicting Superman and a bespectacled Lex Luthor standing triumphantly together with a globe at their backs — a striking image of two very unlikely allies presenting a united front to the world. The tagline "Superman's greatest ally is Lex Luthor?" sets up a genuinely intriguing tension, framed against a backdrop of smoldering urban rubble that suggests the world these two are trying to claim has already paid a steep price. Writer Tom Taylor and artists Mike S. Miller and Tom Derenick bring this unsettling alliance to life, with cover art by Mico Suayan that makes the billboard-within-a-cover composition feel both slick and deeply ominous.
