Outsiders #4

A blood-soaked pool dominates this striking November 2003 cover, where a menacing hooded figure — skull-adorned medallions gleaming on his chest — rises from the crimson depths with outstretched, dripping hands. Behind him, ghostly red silhouettes of the Outsiders loom in the background, hinting at the team's dangerous situation. Tom Raney and Scott Hanna deliver a genuinely unsettling image that sets the tone perfectly for "Brothers in Blood Part One: Small Potatoes," written by Judd Winick with interior art by ChrisCross and Sean Parsons.
