The Fury of Firestorm: The Nuclear Men #9

Paris serves as the stunning backdrop for this New 52 chapter of The Fury of Firestorm: The Nuclear Men, where two Firestorms stride forward crackling with nuclear energy while a mysterious white-costumed woman channels an atomic glow between them. Above, a massive stone fist hurls members of the Justice League International — including Green Lantern and Booster Gold among others — through the air, as the cover boldly promises the JLI has fallen into the clutches of Firehawk. Ethan Van Sciver's cover art packs an impressive amount of superhero chaos into one image, and with the creative team of Van Sciver, Joe Harris, and Yıldıray Çınar driving the "International Incident" story, issue #9 makes a compelling case for this series as one of 2012's more ambitious team books.
