JLA: Classified #40

Part four of Peter Milligan and Carlos D'Anda's "Kid Amazo" arc arrives with a cover by Sami Basri that makes the tension impossible to miss — a white-suited Kid Amazo lunges aggressively against a looming, dark figure in a shadowy forest setting, the tagline "Kid Amazo Turns for the Worse!" spelling out exactly where things stand. The stark contrast between the bright, athletic Kid Amazo and his hulking, battle-damaged opponent gives the image a real sense of escalating danger. If you've been following this arc through JLA: Classified, issue #40 looks like the moment the story shifts into higher gear.
