The New 52: Futures End #36

The cover of this March 2015 installment of DC's sprawling New 52 saga, rendered by Ryan Sook, assembles a tense ensemble of six characters against an eerie green-lit circular vault or hatch backdrop — a young woman in white kneels at center-left, while a confident girl in orange stands arms-crossed beside her, flanked by a blond man in a brown coat and a dark-suited figure with a gun; behind them, a military officer with a cybernetic eye and a woman armed with a rifle anchor the left, while a blue-haired figure with a pistol holds the right. The composition radiates the feel of a last stand or a fateful convergence, with that glowing green atmosphere lending real unease. With Azzarello, Lemire, Jurgens, and Giffen co-writing and Scot Eaton on interior art, this collaborative effort continues one of DC's most ambitious weekly series.
