Blackest Night: Titans #1

The Blackest Night crossover reaches the Titans in this 2009 first issue of a three-part miniseries, with a cover by Ed Benes and Rob Hunter that pulls no punches: a decayed, zombified figure in black and white locks Beast Boy in a grotesque, blood-streaked kiss, his green skin and red-and-white costume a vivid contrast against the corrupted embrace. J. T. Krul's story, titled "When Death Comes Knocking," promises exactly the kind of dark emotional stakes that make this era of DC storytelling so compelling.
