Outsiders #25

Outsiders #25 (August 2005) arrives at a pivotal moment, with the ominous cover tagline "The End?" setting a genuinely anxious tone. Mike McKone and Marlo Alquiza's cover depicts the team gathered in distress around a fallen, massive white-skinned figure — a blue-skinned, pink-haired woman with glowing red eyes stands at the center while a young man with pink hair and a green-haired figure crouch nearby, and a masked hero and another red-jacketed teammate look on from the edges, a streak of lightning cutting through the scene. Writer Judd Winick and artist Carlos D'Anda bring "The Insiders Part Four" to life, and this cover promises something consequential is at stake for the Outsiders.
