The New 52: Futures End #43

As DC's weekly epic barrels toward its conclusion, issue #43 presents a genuinely unsettling cover by Ryan Sook: a monstrous, partially organic figure with glowing pink eyes and mechanical claws looms over a burning cityscape, its massive form dwarfing the urban streets below. The fiery orange sky and crumbling skyline make it clear that whatever this threat is, the city is well past saving. With Azzarello, Giffen, Jurgens, and Lemire all steering the story alongside artist Andy MacDonald and colorist Hi-Fi, this penultimate stretch of Futures End promises the kind of large-scale dread that the series has been building toward all along.
