JLA #35

Tied into DC's 1999 "Day of Judgment" crossover, JLA #35 arrives with a cover that commands immediate attention: a towering, green-cloaked Spectre — now channeling Hal Jordan — looms over the assembled League, his massive hand clutching Wonder Woman, Batman, Superman, and the Martian Manhunter like helpless figures against a backdrop of churning flame. Howard Porter's pencils and John Dell's inks give the image real menace, capturing just how outmatched even Earth's greatest heroes look against a cosmic force of vengeance. Written by J. M. DeMatteis with interior art by Mark Pajarillo and Walden Wong, "The Guilty" promises a story as weighty as its cover suggests.
