Legends of the DC Universe #24

Darkseid looms enormous and impassive across this cover by Steve Pugh, his crimson eyes cutting through a sky torn by lightning and flame, while a gun-toting figure confronts him in the foreground and a tiny silhouette tumbles through the chaos above — a striking composition that perfectly captures the title "The Jump." Jamie Delano and Steve Pugh launch part one of a two-part story that puts ordinary human desperation against one of the DC Universe's most formidable forces. At a January 2000 cover price of $1.99, this is a compelling entry in the Legends of the DC Universe line.
