The Twelve #12

The grand finale of J. Michael Straczynski and Chris Weston's twelve-issue saga arrives here, promising "the epic conclusion to the thrilling novel of tomorrow." Paolo Rivera's painted cover gathers a striking tableau of costumed Golden Age figures — including a central masked man in a top hat and red-lined cape adjusting his glasses, a blonde woman with a spider emblem, and a crowd of heroes and villains swirling dramatically around them in an eerie green-tinged atmosphere. It's a fitting, atmospheric send-off image for one of Marvel's most ambitious limited series.
