Stormwatch #3

Part three of "The Dark Side" raises the stakes considerably, with this New 52 cover by Miguel Sepulveda throwing Stormwatch into a ferocious cosmic brawl — a glowing, halo-crowned figure clashes mid-air against an armored opponent amid a field of asteroids, while a powerful green-skinned warrior fires blazing red eye-beams in the foreground. The cover's bold tagline — "Who declared Earth must die?" — frames the action with a sense of genuine planetary menace. Paul Cornell and Sepulveda are clearly building toward something big in this early chapter of DC's secretive super-team series.
