Teen Titans #28

Rob Liefeld's cover for Teen Titans #28 puts the threat front and center: the predatory villain Kestrel looms large in purple, claws bared and fangs bared, as the bold tagline "Kestrel Goes for the Kill!" leaves little ambiguity about the stakes. Robin, Cyborg, and at least two other Titans — including a red-and-white costumed hero and a golden-clad young woman — scramble around him in a dynamic, chaotic composition that radiates urgency. Written by Gail Simone and illustrated by Liefeld, this November 2005 chapter of "Legacy" promises the kind of high-tension team action that kept Titans fans coming back month after month.
