Justice League #49

In "The Rule Part Two," the Justice League grapples with the unexpected weight of leadership after deposing the Empress Siddinix, now tasked with guiding the Trotha in their impending war against the Vermidiim. Written by Si Spurrier and brought to life by Aaron Lopresti’s dynamic art, with inks by Matt Ryan, colors by David Baron, and letters by Tom Napolitano, the issue explores the growing tension between the heroes’ intentions and the alien culture they’re trying to lead. The cover by Eddy Barrows and Eber Ferreira captures the stakes with striking precision.
