JLA #66

Titled "A Storm of Crows" right on its cover, this July 2002 installment of DC's flagship team book plunges the World's Greatest Super-Heroes straight into a swirling, claustrophobic onslaught of black birds with glowing red eyes. Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and Green Lantern are all visible in the fray, fighting through the chaos while an enormous skeletal crow claw looms ominously in the upper corner — a genuinely unsettling image brought to life by the cover art of Doug Mahnke and Tom Nguyen. With Joe Kelly steering the story, this kicks off "The Destroyers" arc with a cover that makes a strong, immediate case for picking it up.
