JSA #67

A somber mood hangs over JSA #67 as this "Identity Crisis" tie-in carries the arresting story title "The Autopsy." J. H. Williams's cover unfolds as a striking vertical strip of panels — a black raven perched in silhouette, Superman and Power Girl standing at the gravestone of Susan Dibny, a grinning skull, Batman and Power Girl in combat, and a fallen rose — all framed against the ghostly blue-tinted image of a woman laid out as if on an examination table. With Geoff Johns writing and Dave Gibbons on interior art, this 2005 issue promises the kind of emotionally grounded superhero storytelling the series was known for at its best.
