The Emperor Joker arc literally features The Joker becoming a god, so it just seems appropriate. I don't know anything else about the arc myself, but these images look like cropped versions would work well.
EDIT: Incidentally, I see that Galactic President Superstar McAwesomville was never added to the front page, even as a non-canon character. Is there a reason for that?

Black Blood wound up having a major freak out, which Reaper helped end by calming her down. Now Black Blood sticks by Reaper, because Reaper makes her fell not-quite-as-crazy.
Meanwhile in an alternate universe where Insight feels very guilty.
EDIT: Added a alternate ending where Insight figures out what's happening.
"Hey." A blond girl, I think I've seen her elsewhere before but I don't know her name, gives a small wave at me.
"Can I assist you?"
"I have a proposal." She paused, smirking at me.
"And this would be?" I replied.
"Instead of grabbing some ice-cream and sulking back to your bunk, why not join a little get-together? You could introduce yourself to some Magical Girls, maybe start getting a few friends." She finished with a bit of triumph.
I nearly said no anyway, but wasn't that something I was trying to get away from? She might have some form of prediction power. She was an ally against the darkness, I shouldn't hate her just for possessing an ability.
Inhale, they're friendly. Exhale, it's not a trap -- I can zip out of any trap in moments.
"I'll stick around." I give a brief nod to the blond girl.
"Great!" She gave a wide smile, "I'm Shirley, what's your name?"
"Anna. Summit is also acceptable." I had the distinct impression that she could pick out any knowledge she wanted.
"I see," Shirley's face went briefly blank before returning to a cheerful grin. "Help me carry some chairs, we'll get everything set up quicker if we work together. And don't worry about snacks, we already sent somebody out to grab a bunch."
My share of the fold-out chairs was annoyingly heavy without aid from my Panoply. I was tempted to transform, but having that itch of knowing I was next to a Magical Girl while only sensing one of their affinities was maddening. Best to avoid it if possible, just focus on normal things.
Mercifully the event was only a few hundred feet from the small concession stand. I popped out the chairs to wait for the table and took in the area.
It was the flattest spot between the camp and the training grounds. Brush had been cleared away in all directions and the sky was unobstructed all around. A girl carrying a folding table was approaching from the camp. Annoyingly some of the paths swerved around buildings, limiting sightlines. Two other presumably magical girls were present, one lounging on a patio chair, the other crouching on the ground with a box tucked under her arm.
"You're high-strung, did you know that." Shirley waved her hand slightly when I turned to look at her. "Why don't you introduce yourself while we're waiting for the table to get here."
I faced the pair that were also waiting. "Hello, I am Anna. You may also know me as Magical Girl Summit."
"I'm Titania," spoke the one carrying the box. "Mab," said the other, pushing her sunglasses up as she spoke.
"Wait… Summit. You're the one that got chopped in half fighting an armored angel." Mab lets her sunglasses fall back on her face as she points. Is this what I am to be known for? My lapse of judgement, a brief period when I mistook how powerful something was? I could feel a blush creeping up my face. "That's hardcore! You must be super tough to have survived that."
Oh.
That's not so bad, I guess.
Shirley pats me on the back, I jump at the unexpected contact.
"It's her. In the somehow still-whole flesh. It was drowned out by Solid Core and Judgment Core, but the teleporting, indestructible girl has shown herself." She declares. "Err, didn't mean to startle you."
"It's fine, I just prefer to be transformed so I can see things." I reassure her.
Where is everything
I spun in place. The girl carrying the table was White Knight in her unpowered state. Now that she was closer I recognized her from my visit to the infirmary. From one of the twisty paths an untransformed Carnage was accompanied by three other girls. I only knew one of them.
Her
My heart felt like it had suddenly quadrupled in weight. I'd seen how Solid Core had stood in the midst of a vortex of hostile magic unmoved. She could withstand the force of indignant Divinity. Her very touch had empowered Gabriel enough to hand me a humiliating defeat. I couldn't win against her.
"I need to go." I bolted towards the camp, but was stopped by Shirley's grip on my sweatshirt.
"No you don't" She said firmly. "You can run off once you've introduced yourself. No one is going to fight here."
I try to pull out of her grip, but can't displace her. The panicked sensation ebbs as I focus on the ground.
"Aww, she's weak as a kitten." Mab interjected. "Are you going to make her your pet?"
"I haven't decided yet." The amount of smug in Shirley's voice was tangible.
"Who's the stray?" Asked one of the approaching girls.
"You missed her grand intro, she's Anna. You've heard about how she kept fighting after being cut in half, right?" Shirley repeated Mab's impression of me
"I only had my arm cut off, it was hardly debilitating." I added.
Carnage gave a thumbs-up at me.
...Was that what I was going to say? Something felt odd about that.
I was startled out of my introspection by a loud clang. I was prevented from jumping very far this time due to Shirley's grip. The table, it was White Knight setting up the table.
I put my attention back to Solid Core's group.
"Is this a special occasion? Some holiday I didn't hear about?" The blond girl in said group asked.
"Nah. Were just gathered around to meet with friends, isn't that enough of a reason for you to celebrate?"
"You're not my friends. I'm just playing along until I have the chance to kill all of you."
FIGHT
Everything comes together in a snap. Magical Girl Truth must be nearby. I lunge forward, hand moving to grab my knife. A quick slash before she transforms and I'll be able to seize the initiative.
I slam face first into the ground, Shirley lands on me immediately afterwards, forcing the air from my lungs. She was still holding on to my hood.
"You have any idea how easy it is to forget about your stupid little aura?" The girl from before asked with a steady voice.
Everyone else seemed to be more than a bit stunned. I tried to take a breath. Perhaps they weren't going to fight? I could seem to muster up the air to speak. Was that why Shirley hadn't let me attack?
I didn't know. I twisted in place, solar plexus screaming at the motion, and got myself loose from Shirley. My heart was pounding fast, between it and my gasping breaths I couldn't focus on what was being said.
Instead I watched how they moved. Everyone was shifting to encircle the enemy, as well as put some room between them and her. No one was transforming. My twitching to try and keep everything in view was drawing some attention towards me.
With effort I drew in enough air to let me speak.
"FromThePeaksIWatch! IAmMagicalGirlSummit!"
From nowhere my Panoply arrives, green glow over a shifting dark mass. A power flowed through me, washing away my aches and making the weight of the world vanish. Most comforting was the widening of my view to see all around me.
Whether by coincidence or reaction almost every other girl started transforming at nearly the same time. Solid Core was looking forward with a blank look on her face, and White Knight had a dismayed expression near the table she had set up.
Transformed, I had a better understanding of who was who. Blue Sky was the turncoat, Truth had been leading Solid Core's group, and Mab and Titania were the Summer and Winter Queens respectively.
!!!
I had to keep Blue Sky on the ground, her massive armor would be nearly untouchable once airborne. Wings, propellers, jets, and esoteric magical limbs flow out of my Panoply. I launch myself above the group.
I am scarcely afloat before everyone springs into action. Spells collide sending dust everywhere. I spot a vortex, Blue Sky is charging Truth. As the thought arrives so do I, Shifting myself to intercept. My arm is already in motion to meet the attack, armor plates, bones, and rocks appearing over it to deflect the attack into the ground.
Splitting my Panoply I strike with three parts while I duck past her. Blue Sky bats away two of the parts, but misses the third. When she tries to charge past me I use Elsewhere to force her to crash into the ground.
For all of that it's only a delaying action. I haven't put a mark on her. A spell streaks past Blue Sky, the warped space throwing off its caster's aim.
"Fine! I'll just kill you then!" Blue Sky screamed, a worryingly large pair of guns fixing themselves on me.
I had to keep her on the ground. I ignored the shots tearing into me and warped space to force to the ground. Hit after hit registered, but I seized hold of her undaunted.
"Kneel in the darkness, and burn in the light! I am Magical Girl Solid core!"
I strained to hold Blue Sky. I had my Panoply gripping the ground and pushing the guns away. My thrusters scream to counter hers while I twisted reality to frustrate what little force she had the advantage in. I needed someone to finish this fast.
"Solid Core! Shoot her! Shoot her before-" I was interrupted by a massive fist tearing free from my grip and grabbing my head.
I had to abandon my grip to focus my Panoply to stop Blue Sky from crushing my head. Once free she resumed firing upon my helpless form. The blows and crushing force seemed to soften somehow. I resolved to stay slightly longer and delay her plans. A kick from me knocked a thruster out of alignment, pausing her slightly.
The world exploded in light. Blue Sky cracked under the onslaught of Purity and Divinity. As did I.
How high up had I gotten? I couldn't recall falling. My vision had gone strange and I could only see Solid Core, approaching me with a guilty look.
"It doesn't hurt." I tried to reassure her.
It all felt inevitable, like there was no way that I could have avoid the danger she represented.
"I feel so light." I let out my last breath.
The world exploded in light. Blue Sky cracked under the onslaught of Purity and Divinity. As did I.
Had I fallen? There was something wrong with my sight, I could only see Solid Core. She shined like a sun. My strength, what little remained, seemed to flow out of me.
Then Insight appeared, interposing herself between Solid Core and myself.
"You're too stubborn to die! Hold on!" She turned away, growing less distinct against Solid Core's glow. "You need to stop what you did!"
"I didn't-."
"De-transform Now! You're killing her!"
"Insight, I think she's already dying. Just look at her."
"#$%@!"
I couldn't quite grasp what was happening. The haze in my mind grew, covering the pains of battle.
?
At once everything came into focus. The glare that was Solid Core winked out, and I could see once again through my Panolpy's eyes. And feel the pain once more. All of the pain I had ignored fell upon me at once, I screamed.
My scream cut off as a sensation of electricity washed over me. I convulsed, regretting every motion that sent another wave of agony over me.
"See, she's going to live. I bet her affinities are stubbornness and protection." Insight sounded quite relieved.
Opposite of Insight Magical Girl Truth was also by my side. She was holding one of my hands in hers. "Thanks for the save, I hope the pick-me-up makes us even."
Further away White Knight was still un-transformed, staring blankly at where Blue Sky had fell. Winter Queen was standing next to her, speaking quietly to White Knight. Summer Queen stood several feet away from them looking uncomfortable. Nearby I was flanked by Truth and Insight, the de-transformed Solid Core stood a few feet distant, staring blankly at me.
I tried to ask something, but Insight moved her hand over my ruined face. "Just stay put, alright? Summer Queen! Get a couple of medics and a stretcher for Anna!"
Summer Queen glanced over to Insight, nodded, and started running to the training grounds.
"Why?" Solid Core murmured.
Insight let out a sigh, "I'm not certain, but Summit used her stubborn soul to hold herself together after Blue Sky nearly shot her to pieces. Something about your attack was drawing out her soul -- which made her less alive, and let your effect pull on her soul more. That's why she was glowing your color and starting to fall apart."
"Oh."
