Justice League: Generation Lost #23

Part of DC's Brightest Day crossover, this penultimate chapter of Justice League: Generation Lost arrives with a cover by Dustin Nguyen that says everything without saying a word: a cold, calculating figure looms large above a blood-red globe, his hands steepled with quiet menace, while four heroes — including a green-cloaked woman, a white-haired figure in blue, a gold-and-blue costumed hero, and a silver-toned figure — advance across the world below him. The tagline "The End Is Coming…" sets the stakes perfectly for Judd Winick's story "Caught," with art by Fernando Dagnino and inks by Raúl Fernández carrying the series into its dramatic final stretch. If you've been following this team's long struggle, issue #23 is exactly the kind of cover that reminds you why you started reading in the first place.
