Project Superpowers: Chapter Two #12

The finale of Project Superpowers: Chapter Two goes out with a thunderclap — Alex Ross's painted cover erupts with a blazing lightning bolt at its center as two enormous armies of golden-age heroes clash across every inch of the composition, figures crowding the frame from all directions in a breathtaking collision of color and chaos. It's the kind of sweeping, all-hands-on-deck image that makes clear this 2009 series conclusion was determined to deliver maximum spectacle. Jim Krueger, Alex Ross, and the art team of Edgar Salazar and Simon Bowland close out Chapter Two on a note that feels genuinely earned.
