Home Infinite Crisis #5
Infinite Crisis #5 contains an image of Kal-L holding the recently deceased Lois Lane, an image that harks back to IC's predecessor, Crisis On Infinite Earths. In issue #7 of COIE, Earth 1's Supergirl, the original Kara Zor-El from Krypton and cousin of Superman, died in battle with the Anti-Monitor. The cover of that issue became an instant classic:
A competition was held in the Week 40 of the weekly series 52 that followed Infinite Crisis where readers could vote for their favourite DC cover. The results were released in Week 47 and, by a "surprisingly overwhelming margin", the cover to COIE #7 came out on top.
Over the years, various DC comics would pastiche the cover of COIE #7 and those that I have found are shown below. If anyone knows of any more, check the FAQ for how to contact me and let me know.

Fallen Angel Vol 2 #16 - ironic as this non-DC series is written by Peter David who wrote Supergirl #79 mentioned above.
