Legion of Super-Heroes #5

The tagline "Livin' Fast… Dyin' Young!" sets an urgent tone for this 2005 DC series, and Barry Kitson's cover delivers on that energy — a young hero is clutched protectively by a dark-haired woman while a menacing reptilian alien looms behind them, a stoic figure lurking at the edge as ghostly Legionnaire faces fill the starry background. The sense of danger pressing in from all sides makes this a compelling visual snapshot of a team under pressure. Mark Waid and Kitson's run on the Legion continues to feel fresh and kinetic, and this issue looks like no exception.
