JLA: Classified #31

A looming, shadowy creature with glowing red eyes dominates this striking 2007 cover by Kilian Plunkett and Tom Nguyen, as Wonder Woman lies fallen in the foreground and Superman streaks through the air above her — with Batman visible in the background — setting a genuinely tense stage for "Secret History, Sacred Trust Part Six." The tagline "The End of History!" sells the urgency well, suggesting the Justice League is facing something well beyond a routine threat. Howard Chaykin's six-part arc wraps up here, and this cover does exactly what a finale chapter deserves — makes you want to find out how they get out of this one.
