JLA #25

Scorched Earth" arrives in this January 1999 issue of JLA, and Howard Porter and John Dell deliver a cover that crackles with urgency. Superman leads the charge alongside Wonder Woman, the Flash, and Aquaman as they collide head-on with a heavily armored cybernetic figure against a backdrop of fire and churning water. Grant Morrison's tenure on "The World's Greatest Super-Heroes" consistently raised the stakes, and this issue — subtitled "Executive Action!" right on the cover — looks no different.
