Justice League of America #4

The cover by Ivan Reis and Joe Prado makes the stakes brutally clear: a silver-armored, caped figure looms triumphant over a fallen Justice League of America, crackling energy weapon in hand, while Batman, Superman, Black Canary, Vixen, and Harley Quinn lie scattered at his feet. Part of DC Universe Rebirth's 2017 lineup, this fourth issue arrives at "The Extremists Finale," and that cover promises the team has been pushed to their absolute limit. Steve Orlando's series has been building toward this confrontation, and Reis and Prado deliver a cover that captures the full weight of that moment with confidence and craft.
