Suicide Squad #14

This striking New 52 tie-in to the "Death of the Family" crossover event gives Harley Quinn an arresting close-up treatment — her pale face, vivid teal eye, and signature dark makeup filling nearly the entire cover in an unsettling, intimate composition. The crosshair logo looming in the corner perfectly underscores the dangerous territory the Suicide Squad finds themselves in, with Greg Capullo's cover art lending the image a sharp, almost theatrical menace. Written by Adam Glass with interior art by Fernando Dagnino, this January 2013 issue is a tense chapter for fans following the Squad through one of DC's most gripping Batman-era storylines.
