Justice, Inc. #6
In "The Night of the Avenger!", The Shadow and Doc Savage pursue Benson to New Jersey, where he seeks justice for his family's murder—only for The Shadow to act first, leaving the Avenger to grapple with the consequences. As John Sunlight's apocalyptic plan unfolds, the chaos claims both Sunlight and the Voodoo Master, forcing the three heroes to confront the limits of their ideals. Written by Michael Uslan and illustrated by Giovanni Timpano, with colors by Marco Lesko and letters by Simon Bowland, this pivotal issue sees the team part ways, each committed to their own path. The cover, a striking portrait by Alex Ross, captures the moment’s weight.
