The Ray #6

The finale of DC's six-issue miniseries arrives with a cover tagline that says it all: "In a Blaze of Power…" Joe Quesada's pencils and Jimmy Palmiotti's inks deliver a striking composition — a masked, menacing figure looms enormous in the foreground, arms outstretched with crackling energy, while a figure in black and gold stands with their back to us facing the threat, surrounded by a crowd of onlookers sketched in loose, uncolored linework. It's a confident, dramatic close to a series that gave the Ray a fresh spotlight in 1992, and "Day of the Ray" promises the kind of high-stakes showdown worthy of that title.
