Teen Titans #23.1

Part of DC's 2013 Villains Month event, this special issue shines a sinister spotlight on Trigon, one of the Teen Titans' most formidable foes. The cover by Eddy Barrows and Eber Ferreira presents the horned, red-skinned demon lord surging forward with crackling energy blazing from both hands, his wide grin radiating pure menace against a fiery, apocalyptic sky — while smaller figures, including a caped hero and what appears to be a bound captive, suggest the scale of his dominance. Writer Marv Wolfman, the architect of so much Titans history, teams with artist Cafu to deliver "Heart of Darkness," a story that promises to dig into the darkness at the core of this terrifying villain.
