Orion #23

In "The Walls of Jericho...!", Orion faces off against the Jericho gang in a climactic confrontation that sees him dismantle the Apokoliptian weapons threatening the city. With the danger neutralized, he makes a quiet but significant introduction—bringing Melissa face-to-face with her new protector, Gene Swift. Written and illustrated by Walter Simonson, with cover art by Simonson, this 2002 DC issue delivers a grounded, character-driven moment in the midst of high-stakes action.
