Red Lanterns #17

Part four of "Wrath of the First Lantern" arrives in this 2013 New 52 installment, and Miguel Sepulveda's cover pulls no punches — a blue-skinned figure in a tattered Green Lantern uniform is seized and pummeled by a massive, snarling red creature, debris and energy erupting around them in a visceral collision of rage. The composition crackles with raw fury, perfectly suited to a series built on the most violent emotion in the emotional spectrum. Peter Milligan and Sepulveda continue their run with this chapter subtitled "Sympathy for the Devil," promising the kind of brutal, morally charged tension that defines the Red Lanterns at their best.
