Green Lantern Corps #34

A Green Lantern strains at the center of this striking 2014 cover, his ring blazing with brilliant emerald light as he surges upward with arms outstretched and mouth open in a cry of exertion or anguish — a dozen or more fellow Lanterns visible in the chaotic background. Below him, another figure lies seemingly unconscious or overwhelmed, surrounded by swirling energy, hinting at the high stakes promised by the story title "Vengeance, Swift." Trevor McCarthy's cover work crackles with raw intensity, making this New 52 chapter of Green Lantern Corps — from the creative team of Van Jensen, Bernard Chang, and Marcelo Maiolo — one that's hard to walk past on the shelf.
