Resurrection Man #2

Resurrection Man #2 from DC's June 1997 lineup opens with a striking image that says everything about Mitch Shelley's grim gift: the man lies face-down in rubble beside a "Dead End" sign, apparently lifeless. Ghosted behind him, a teal-tinted montage reveals Wonder Woman and a skeletal villain among other JLA figures — a tantalizing promise fulfilled by the "Guest-Starring JLA" banner across the cover. Butch Guice's artwork balances quiet dread with superhero spectacle, making this early issue of Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning's series a compelling read right from the cover.
