Green Arrow #23

Against a sweeping, snow-dusted mountain backdrop, a fierce tattooed archer stands tall with bow drawn and arrow at full tension, while a hooded Green Arrow crouches low behind her — quiver on his back, arrow trained downward — the two forming a striking pair braced against the storm. The cover art by Andrea Sorrentino gives the scene a cinematic weight, with falling snow and a warm dusk sky creating a vivid contrast to the cold terrain below. Jeff Lemire and Sorrentino's New 52 run hits its "Shados — Conclusion" in this 2013 issue, and this image alone makes clear the partnership it's been building toward.
