Justice League United #13

Tony Harris's cover for Justice League United #13 is a striking, war-drenched composition that arranges a collection of grim, battle-worn figures — including a stitched-together creature dominating the center, a snarling werewolf-like beast, a helmeted soldier, and a goggled fighter in the foreground — against a fractured star motif bathed in blood-red and burnt gold. The "War Zone" title promises exactly the kind of intense, siege-mentality tension the cover radiates, with barbed wire and machinery reinforcing the battlefield atmosphere. Jeff Parker, Paul Pelletier, Rob Hunter, and Jeromy Cox deliver a 2015 chapter of Justice League United that looks every bit as ferocious as its cover suggests.
