The Other History of the DC Universe #5
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThe concluding chapter of John Ridley's celebrated DC Black Label series centers on Anissa Pierce, and the cover — penciled and inked by Giuseppe Camuncoli, with colors by José Villarrubia — delivers something genuinely striking: a determined young woman in a bold gold-and-blue costume crackles with lightning while a luminous, spectral face emerges from the energy she holds in her hand. The interplay of electric white arcs against rich, painterly colors gives the image a raw, almost mythic weight that feels perfectly suited to a story spanning 1981–2010. It's a powerful visual send-off for a series that has consistently reframed the DC Universe through perspectives too long left in the margins.
