Great artistry and flawed characterization begin DC's big summer event.

The relationship between comic books and their covers has always been fascinating to me. The better part of the past century has proved that a striking cover image can push forward ideas that revolutionize the entire industry, plague an otherwise-fine book with controversy, or falsely advertise a plot point.

Waid is no stranger to using a DC universe-spanning threat to tap into larger cultural themes; his and Alex Ross' work on 1996's Kingdom Come is regarded to be one of the most poignant stories of that decade, if not all of modern DC, thanks in part to its dense portrait of heroism and legacy. He also is no stranger to compelling character dynamics, as exemplified everywhere from 1998's JLA: Year One to his and Mora's recent work on Batman / Superman: World's Finest.
