“True Lies”

In *Justice League: A Midsummer's Nightmare #1* (1996), seven heroes live quiet, ordinary lives—completely unaware of their past as superheroes—while the world around them erupts with sudden, inexplicable powers. Written by Fabian Nicieza and Mark Waid, with art by Darick Robertson and Jeff Johnson, this issue quietly builds tension as the heroes start noticing the strange, impossible shifts in their reality. The cover by Kevin Maguire and John Dell captures the eerie calm before the storm.
