JLA: Year One #10

Four founding JLA members — Green Lantern, Aquaman, the Flash, and Black Canary — stand at the edge of a crumbling precipice, flames roaring behind them, as a massive green hand reaches up from the chasm below. The tagline "Fallen Friend!" gives the cover a genuine sense of loss and urgency that Barry Kitson renders with striking clarity. Issue #10 of this 1998 maxi-series brings Mark Waid and Brian Augustyn's "Heaven and Earth" chapter to a team that looks like it may be facing its most devastating moment yet.
