Birds of Prey #10

The cover of Birds of Prey #10 (1999) pulls you in close with a striking, oversized face — a wide-eyed woman wearing a headset and tinted aviator glasses, her expression caught somewhere between alarm and disbelief. Reflected in those blue lenses are action-packed scenes hinting at serious trouble unfolding elsewhere, perfectly selling the issue's ominous header: "Things Look Bad for the Birds of Prey." Cover art by Brian Stelfreeze and Greg Land makes this a genuinely arresting visual, and with Chuck Dixon writing "The Wrong Guy," there's every reason to find out just how bad things get.
