The Phantom Stranger #4

Part of DC's New 52 initiative, this March 2013 issue brings together two corners of DC's supernatural world as the cover announces "The Stranger Meets Justice League Dark." Jae Lee's striking cover art presents a composed, blonde-haired figure in a long coat gazing upward amid swirling mystical symbols, while the caped, wide-brimmed-hat-wearing Phantom Stranger surges forward from below in a crackle of dark energy — the tension between the two figures beautifully understated yet charged. With Dan DiDio and J. M. DeMatteis co-writing and Brent Anderson on interior art, this chapter titled "Abduction" promises a compelling collision of arcane forces.
