“The Golden Age, Book Four of Four”

In "The Golden Age, Book Four of Four," James Robinson and Paul Smith deliver a bold, twist-laden finale to their acclaimed series, where long-buried secrets about Tex Thompson and Dynaman come crashing to the surface at a high-stakes gathering of heroes in Washington. When Miss America drops the bombshell that Thompson is the Ultra-Humanite, and Hourman reveals Dynaman’s true identity as Adolf Hitler, chaos erupts—forcing the heroes to confront a threat unlike any they’ve faced, and seek out a new kind of savior. The cover by Paul Smith captures the moment’s intensity, while the story’s final act remains a masterclass in layered reveals and moral complexity.
