Justice League #32

Lex Luthor dominates this New 52 cover — armored in his green-and-purple power suit, golden gauntlet raised, and wearing a cold, calculating expression that makes the cover's teaser ("Lex Luthor knows one secret… what will he do to learn them all?") feel genuinely unsettling. Looming just behind him is a caped, shadowy figure whose presence hints at dangerous company. Cover art by Ivan Reis and Joe Prado brings a sharp, cinematic tension to Justice League #32, part three of the "Injustice League" arc from Geoff Johns and Doug Mahnke.
