Legion of Super-Heroes #2

Mark Waid and Barry Kitson's 2005 relaunch of the Legion of Super-Heroes hits its stride with this second issue, whose cover showcases a confident figure in a striking black-and-white starfield costume at center, flanked by a dark-caped woman and surrounded by a cast of futuristic faces — including a large rocky alien visage — radiating outward in a bold, sunburst composition. Kitson's clean linework gives the ensemble a sleek, forward-looking energy that lives up to the tagline "Tomorrow's Heroes Today!" A fine entry point into this fresh take on DC's 30th-century super-team.
