Justice League #23

Part of DC Universe Rebirth's "Fear Itself" arc, this 2017 issue promises high-stakes action as the cover — penciled by Paul Pelletier and inked by Tony Kordos — throws Green Lantern Jessica Cruz front and center, ring blazing with emerald energy amid a backdrop of explosions and rocket fire. Batman crouches below her while Wonder Woman charges in with sword and shield, and a heavily armed armored figure looms to the left as incoming missiles streak across the burning sky. The cover's bold tagline announces the Black Shield, a figure willing to pursue Middle East peace at any cost — a compelling hook for this chapter of the Justice League's Rebirth era.
