Justice League #35

Batman and the Flash stand their ground against a grim backdrop of a blood-red moon hanging over a quarantined city, with hazmat-suited figures and armed soldiers visible in the chaos around them — a cover by Ivan Reis and Joe Prado that sets an unsettling, plague-tinged tone. The "Contaminated Area" tape in the foreground and the fallen figures beneath the heroes' feet hint at a crisis far beyond ordinary superhero fare. Writer Geoff Johns and artist Doug Mahnke launch "The Amazo Virus, Prologue: The Outbreak" as part of DC's New 52, promising a story where the Justice League faces something that can't be punched away.
