In "The Dark Things Part Five," the Justice League and Justice Society are pushed to their limits as Starheart resists their combined efforts. With the fate of Alan Scott hanging in the balance, Batman makes a bold move—convincing Jade that she holds the only key to unlocking his power and calming the cosmic force. Written by James Robinson and illustrated by Mark Bagley, with dynamic inks by Rob Hunter, Norm Rapmund, Don Ho, Derek Fridolfs, and Rich Perrotta, and vibrant colors by Ulises Arreola and Zaratus, the issue’s cover by Mark Bagley and Jesús Merino captures the escalating tension.
