Green Arrow / Black Canary #13

The cover by Cliff Chiang says it all: a man in civilian clothes and a masked, red-and-gold costumed hero share a grinning, conspiratorial moment — rose in hand — while an attack helicopter looms overhead, fires rage in the background, and armed soldiers close in behind them. It's a terrific blend of rom-com warmth and full-throttle danger that captures exactly what makes this title tick. Judd Winick, Mike Norton, and Wayne Faucher bring "Home Again, Home Again" to life in this December 2008 issue, and if the cover is any indication, the sparks flying are both romantic and explosive.
