Justice Society of America #9

Power Girl commands the cover of this November 2007 installment of Justice Society of America, rendered in Alex Ross's signature painted style — her arms folded, cape sweeping behind her, radiating quiet, unshakeable authority against a stark black background. The "Thy Kingdom Come" prologue promises big things ahead, and with Geoff Johns writing alongside the interior art of Dale Eaglesham and Ruy José, this series was firing on all cylinders at this point in its run. A compelling single-figure portrait that lets one of DC's most formidable heroes do all the talking.
