JLA #46

The "Tower of Babel" arc reaches its conclusion here, and Howard Porter and Drew Geraci's cover pulls no punches — six JLA members crowd the frame in tight close-up: Wonder Woman, Superman, Martian Manhunter, The Flash, Green Lantern, Batman, and Aquaman, their expressions tense and resolute against a fiery red-orange backdrop. That charged assembly of faces captures a team at a crossroads, making this a genuinely compelling snapshot of DC's mightiest heroes under pressure. Mark Waid, Steve Scott, and Mark Propst deliver the final chapter of one of the most talked-about JLA storylines of 2000.
