Team 7 #6

The cover of this 2013 New 52 entry splits dramatically down the middle — on one side a fallen soldier lies motionless against a stark black background, while on the other, a masked figure with a piercing blue eye looms overhead, sword raised and poised to strike. Gary Frank's pencils (inked by Cam Smith) make the composition feel genuinely tense, with the ominous tagline "The Death Count Begins…" leaving little doubt that Team 7 is entering dangerous territory. Written by Justin Jordan with interior art by Pascal Alixe and Cliff Richards, this issue promises high stakes for the covert squad.
