Red Hood and the Outlaws #28

The cover of this New 52 issue tells its story in two clever halves: below, Red Hood, Arsenal, and Starfire enjoy a rare moment of downtime at a café table — only for the top half to explode into a chaotic brawl, with Arsenal leaping blade-first into a pack of snarling alien-looking creatures. Writer James Tynion IV and artist Stephen Segovia drive home the irony perfectly with the cover's own tagline: "All they wanted was to get away from it all — but there is no rest for the wicked!" It's a fun, kinetic snapshot of the Outlaws' hard-luck brand of camaraderie, and Segovia's sharp linework keeps the action as lively as the humor.
