Fear Itself: Youth in Revolt #3

The halfway point of this 2011 limited series drops young heroes into the chaos of Las Vegas — the famous "Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas" sign looms in the fiery red background as two costumed figures battle a massive, glowing creature crackling with supernatural energy. Giuseppe Camuncoli's cover captures the desperation of the moment beautifully, with a red-and-gold armored hero and a determined young woman in red fighting back against this dark, tentacled threat. Sean McKeever, Mike Norton, and Veronica Gandini bring Fear Itself's world-shaking stakes down to street level, and issue three makes it clear the youth initiative is being tested in every possible way.
