Justice League of America #12

Part of DC's sweeping 2014 Forever Evil crossover, this New 52 issue brings the Justice League of America face-to-face with a massive, roaring threat whose glowing red eyes dominate the cover — a giant, enraged figure whose sheer scale dwarfs the assembled heroes below. Superman, Stargirl, Green Lantern, Superwoman, and several teammates stand their ground while an ominous lurking villain looms at the top of the frame, all framed by the blunt declaration "GAME OVER!" The cover by Eddy Barrows and Eber Ferreira delivers a genuine sense of stakes as writer Matt Kindt's "Tick, Tick, Tick…" title hints that time itself may be running out for the League.
