Trinity of Sin: Pandora #7

Part of DC's 2014 "Forever Evil: Blight" crossover, this issue drops into chapter nine of an eighteen-part saga with real momentum behind it. Julian Totino Tedesco's cover pulls the eye immediately to Pandora herself, suspended in a blinding golden eruption of light, debris scattering outward as four figures — including what appear to be a hulking creature, a red-haired woman, and two men — look on from below. That tagline, "Let There Be Light?!", hangs over the scene with just enough uncertainty to keep you guessing, and with Ray Fawkes writing and both Staz Johnson and Francis Portela sharing art duties inside, this New 52 tie-in delivers the kind of supernatural tension that made this corner of the DC universe genuinely compelling in 2014.
