Metamorpho: Year One #4

Part four of six in DC's 2008 "Year One" retelling finds Metamorpho looming large and furious on Kevin Nowlan's vivid cover — the Element Man's multicolored, chemically transformed body radiating raw power as he roars in defiance. In the foreground, a black-clad, goggled figure brandishes a menacing poison bottle, its skull-and-crossbones symbol hinting at the chemical threat Rex Mason may be facing. Dan Jurgens and Mike Norton's "Treasure Quest" continues to look like a bold, energetic take on one of DC's most visually distinctive heroes.
