Red Lanterns #5

Part of DC's New 52 initiative, Red Lanterns #5 from 2012 puts the question of leadership front and center with a visceral cover battle between two Red Lanterns — a sleek, blue-skinned female corps member squaring off against a massive, monstrous male figure drenched in crimson energy. Ed Benes renders both combatants with raw, kinetic force, making it clear that the struggle for dominance within the Red Lanterns corps is anything but civil. Peter Milligan's "Kronamania" promises the kind of furious internal conflict that makes this rage-fueled corner of the DC universe so compelling.
