Green Lantern: New Guardians #34

A lone white-clad figure radiates a blinding burst of light at the center of the cover, surrounded on all sides by an intimidating circle of alien beings — including a massive green serpentine creature, armored figures, and various extraterrestrial threats closing in from every angle. The composition by Brad Walker and Drew Hennessy perfectly captures the tension implied by the story title "Sacrifices," with one seemingly outmatched hero standing their ground against overwhelming odds. This October 2014 New 52 installment looks like a compelling showcase of just how far the New Guardians will go when the stakes are at their highest.
