JLA: Classified #53

The Justice League faces a divine reckoning on Joshua Middleton's striking cover, where Superman leads a determined assemblage — including Wonder Woman, Martian Manhunter, Aquaman, Green Lantern, Batman, and Hawkman — as they confront a powerful, throne-bound figure looming ominously above them against a fiery, cavernous backdrop. The tagline "No Other Gods Before Me!" sets the tone for part four of Roger Stern and John Byrne's "That Was Now, This Is Then" arc, promising a clash of mythic proportions. This 2008 installment delivers the kind of grand, ensemble superhero drama that makes JLA: Classified such a satisfying showcase for the World's Greatest Heroes.
