JLA: The Nail #2

In "The Nail, Book Two of Three," Alan Davis delivers a tightly wound chapter of intrigue as the JLA fractures under the weight of rising anti-alien sentiment. While Batman recovers from Arkham, the team scatters—Lois Lane follows a cryptic lead to a Kansas research facility, the Outsiders probe a mysterious Arctic fortress, and Martian Manhunter infiltrates Lexcorp, uncovering that Lex is being manipulated by a hidden force. With Alan Davis handling both art and writing, and Mark Farmer’s inks lending sharp precision to the cover by Davis and Farmer, this 1998 issue deepens the mystery with quiet menace and layered suspense.
