Teen Titans #40

Miss Martian steps forward with a knowing smile and the pointed declaration "I'm Miss Martian. Of course you can trust me!" — and that loaded speech bubble alone sets an irresistible tone for this December 2006 installment of "Titans Around the World." Behind her, Superboy, Starfire, a flame-wielding figure, and another Titan fill the warm orange backdrop in a dynamic spread rendered by Tony Daniel. Geoff Johns and Daniel were clearly building something compelling with this team lineup, and this cover does a fine job of making you want to flip straight to page one.
