Green Arrow #22

Part of the acclaimed Jeff Lemire and Andrea Sorrentino run on Green Arrow, this 2013 New 52 issue kicks off the "Shados" arc with a striking cover that says it all. Green Arrow is shown in freefall, hand outstretched and screaming, surrounded by swirling concentric rings of glowing arrows — a vivid visual representation of Count Vertigo's disorienting power. The tagline "At the Mercy of the All New Count Vertigo!" sets up a genuinely unsettling threat, and Sorrentino's cover work captures that sense of helpless, spinning dread beautifully.
