Green Arrow #28

Part of Jeff Lemire and Andrea Sorrentino's acclaimed "Outsiders War" arc, this third chapter promises a reckoning as the cover's blood-red palette sets an unnerving tone. A grimacing figure looms large overhead while a lone silhouetted warrior stands below, framed by the Fist Clan sigil and its stark creed — strength, brutality, self-reliance — suggesting a confrontation steeped in brutal tradition. Sorrentino's stark, atmospheric cover work makes this 2014 New 52 chapter feel genuinely intense before you've even turned the first page.
