R.E.B.E.L.S. #13

This 2010 entry in DC's intergalactic team series promises serious intrigue with its cover tagline "Triple Cross!" — and the art by Kalman Andrasofszky delivers the tension to match. A green-skinned, blonde-haired figure charges forward defiantly, framed on all sides by three snarling, monstrous faces that loom like a gauntlet of threats closing in. Writer Tony Bedard, artist Claude St. Aubin, and inker Scott Hanna bring "Tests, Allies, Enemies" to life in what looks, from the cover alone, like a chapter where trust is in very short supply.
