2. The Epilogue

The Ending of New Frontier is emblematic of the entire preceding book. The epilogue consists of selected scenes from around the DC Universe, while JFK’s famous New Frontier speech (from which the title for the book was taken) is printed over the events.

It’s the perfect representation of every DC character it covers. It shows what is to come, from the good to the bad. Horrors like the Joker and Luthor, new heroes like Steel and Rick Flagg Jr. We see Superman welcoming Martian Manhunter to earth, but we also see how much progression was still remaining.

Segregation, the doomsday clock, corporate America’s rise, but we also see the heroes who will guide us through that time, from Metamorpho to the Metal Men.

Also, the panel with Rick Flagg Jr. legit makes me tear up every single damn time.
