JLA: Classified #52

Wonder Woman strains against a massive, rocky-skinned creature on Joshua Middleton's striking cover for this 2008 DC entry in the JLA: Classified anthology series. Her golden lasso wrapped tight around the beast's enormous stone hand, Diana's expression tells you everything you need to know — and the tagline "The Truth Hurts!" makes it even clearer that things aren't going smoothly. With Roger Stern writing, John Byrne on art, and Mark Farmer inking, "Revelations" promises the kind of straightforward superhero storytelling that made this era of DC anthologies genuinely worthwhile.
