Green Lantern: New Guardians #30

The cover of issue #30 tells you everything you need to know about the stakes: a white-suited figure strains under the force of a glowing blue energy blade, while a monstrous crystalline being looms behind with rage on its face — all against a backdrop of fiery cosmic destruction. Writer Justin Jordan and artists Brad Walker and Diógenes Neves bring the "Godkillers" arc to a boiling point, with the cover's tagline — "Godkillers Triumphant?!" — making it clear that Kyle Rayner and his allies may be outmatched. It's a gripping chapter of the New 52 New Guardians run, rendered with sharp energy by Walker and inker Drew Hennessy.
