Manhunter #7

Against a blazing sunset framed by palm trees, Kate Spencer's Manhunter looms in full combat readiness — her glowing star-burst chest emblem flaring with energy as she drives a fist toward an unseen opponent while a clawed, monstrous hand reaches toward her from the foreground. The tension on the cover perfectly matches the "Trial by Fire" arc's promise of a heroine willing to fight on multiple fronts. Andreyko and Saiz were already delivering one of DC's most grounded yet ferocious takes on vigilante justice in 2005, and this seventh issue looks like no exception.
