I have been unsuccessful in my attempts to procure this comic book. Gorgeous JH Williams art with Todd Klein’s awesome pulp lettering, *and* the Elongated Man? Not to mention the only Grant Morrison story of the 21st century I haven’t read? NEED NEED NEED

Dan, I definitely agree. Ross’s cover just sort of blends together and isn’t nearly as striking.

Why do I suspect Silver Age writers fried a lot of ants with their magnifying glasses?

and the “must have super creative page layout not matter if it fits” schtick is also getting old.

Also, Adam doesn’t look baked on the Infantino cover.

I think that Infantino cover works a lot better than the Ross one. The explosion looks more violent, and I like making the mushroom cloud the focus. The affected city seems smaller, but that illustrates fragility in the face of a devastating weapon, which I think serves the cover idea better than a perspective that focuses on the city itself. On Infantino’s cover, I initially read it as a giant hand holding a magnifying glass over a city. It wasn’t actually what happened, but I never was able to really understand the scene on Ross’s cover. Also, I can see that it’s Adam Strange on the cover, and my eyes aren’t strangely drawn towards his quads.
