What makes the best comic book covers? It is a great topic for debate. For us, as individuals, there is no wrong answer, of course; it is purely subjective. But, with a little thought it’s possible to explain what it is about a particular image that grabs you. The best images are the ones that make you stop and check out something you weren’t previously planning to purchase – and in some cases, you even end up picking up a title you’ve never even heard of before.

Suprerhero team-ups? Who doesn’t love them? Especially when they feature top talent like comic scribe Brian Michael Bendis and illustrator Scott Godlewski – as does DC Comics’ Justice League Vs The Legion of Super-Heroes. 

The fourth chapter of this stellar crossover adventure includes a menagerie of mighty men and women fighting the good fight for galactic peace. But, at the same time, it sports an eye-catching cover by Travis Moore and Ryan Cody that pairs the inscrutable Brainiac 5 with Shazam’s former nemesis, Black Adam. Not bad for a $5 comic, eh?

Featuring a cast in size that once only the late, great George Pérez would have taken on as a challenge, this book is tailor-made for comic book collections everywhere.
