Salvation Run #6

The penultimate chapter of DC's 2008 series pits two of the DCU's most dangerous criminal minds against each other in an all-out brawl — the cover by Sean Chen and Walden Wong puts the Joker and Lex Luthor front and center, trading punches amid an alien rock formation under a blood-red sky. That banner headline — "The Joker-Luthor War!" — says everything you need to know about where this exile-planet saga has arrived by issue six of seven. With Matthew Sturges writing and Sean Chen and Walden Wong handling interior art as well, "Burning Down the World" promises the kind of villain-versus-villain confrontation that makes this series such a wild ride.
