Justice League #26

Kicking off "Legacy Part One," this DC Universe Rebirth issue plants a striking generational image right on its cover: a determined young man in a red cape and costume stands at the forefront alongside several other young heroes — including a woman in ornate green-and-gold armor, a red-haired figure in white wrappings, a white-haired youth, and a speedster in red — while the towering, monochromatic forms of Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman loom behind them like living monuments. The cover copy says it all: "Introducing… The League's Future Children!" — and Bryan Hitch's cover art delivers that promise with a confident, cinematic sweep that makes the passing of the torch feel genuinely weighty. With Hitch writing and Pasarin on interior art, this October 2017 issue looks like a compelling new chapter for DC's greatest team.
