Justice League #45
In the wake of Darkseid’s fall, the Justice League fractures under the weight of their victory—and the echoes of the New Gods. As the Flash grapples with the terrifying presence of the Black Racer, Batman turns toward Gotham’s shadows, Shazam senses a divine pull from beyond the stars, and Superman vanishes into Apokolips, where destiny and power collide. Written by Geoff Johns and illustrated with bold, kinetic energy by Francis Manapul—whose dynamic art and color work define this pivotal chapter—this issue marks a turning point in the Darkseid War, with the cover by Manapul capturing the storm of change.
