JLA: Heaven's Ladder #1

This oversized 2000 DC one-shot unites Mark Waid and Bryan Hitch for an ambitious JLA story that carries a fittingly grand cover to match. Bryan Hitch and Paul Neary's artwork places Superman and Wonder Woman front and center — she grips his arm as he stares down some unseen threat — while Green Lantern soars powerfully in the background, ring blazing, and Aquaman surges through the chaos below. At a cover price that reflects its prestige format, JLA: Heaven's Ladder arrives as a substantial, self-contained showcase for some of DC's finest heroes rendered with real cinematic weight.
