Red Lanterns #12

Peter Milligan and Miguel Sepulveda bring raw, visceral energy to this New 52 chapter of Red Lanterns, and the cover says it all — a Red Lantern, ring blazing on his chest, locked in a brutal clash with the massive, spike-adorned monstrosity Abysmus, whose hulking green form towers menacingly over the battle. The tagline "The Savage Madness of Abysmus!" frames the confrontation perfectly, promising a threat that's as much brute force as it is chaos. Issue #12 of this 2012 series makes a strong visual case that the Red Lanterns have met a foe worthy of their unrelenting fury.
