Justice League: Generation Lost #16

Part of DC's 2011 Brightest Day event, Justice League: Generation Lost #16 delivers a striking cover by Dustin Nguyen rendered in a moody, near-monochromatic palette punctuated by glowing red eyes. The Creature Commandos — a skull-faced soldier brandishing a heavy weapon, a monstrous figure, a heavily armored combatant with a minigun, and a pale, otherworldly woman — loom in a menacing, tightly packed composition that makes the cover's bold declaration ("Stalked by… the Creature Commandos!") feel genuinely threatening. Judd Winick scripts the interior alongside artist Fernando Pasarin and inker Raúl Fernández, promising that "Scary Monsters" is an apt title for whatever awaits the generation lost inside.
