Deathstroke #12

Two formidable faces dominate this 2012 New 52 cover — Deathstroke's distinctive orange-and-black helmet looms large on the right, while a snarling, white-skinned, red-eyed adversary glares back from the left, the tagline "Only ONE Will Survive!" promising serious consequences for whoever walks away. Rob Liefeld handles both the writing and art duties here, bringing his bold, high-energy style to "The Omega Agenda." It's a confrontational composition that sets the stakes squarely on the table before you've even cracked the spine.
