Green Arrow #59

This striking April 2006 issue of Green Arrow features a cover by James Jean that lingers in the memory — a small, frightened child clutching something tightly, surrounded by a field of scattered arrows jutting from the ground while an inferno of crimson and orange consumes the world around them. The painterly, almost watercolor atmosphere gives the image a raw, haunting fragility that stands apart from typical superhero fare. With Judd Winick writing and Paul Lee on interior art, "Until the End of the World Part Two" promises a chapter with real emotional weight behind that unsettling imagery.
