Rann / Thanagar War

In 2005, DC Comics launched this interplanetary war epic from writer Dave Gibbons and artist Ivan Reis, a single-issue spectacle that pits the rival alien civilizations of Rann and Thanagar against each other in a devastating conflict. Bridging cosmic sci-fi and superhero politics, the story explores the collateral damage of a long-simmering feud, with Earth caught in the crossfire. Though brief, the series stands as a key moment in DC's space opera lore, showcasing Reis's detailed cosmic landscapes and Gibbons's knack for high-stakes drama.
