Teen Titans #60

Part of DC's 2008 "Dark Side Club" crossover, Teen Titans #60 delivers a cover that immediately sets a tense, urgent tone. A leering, clock-faced villain looms large over the scene, his unsettling grin and the bold tagline "Time's Up!" dwarfing a battered group of young heroes — including Miss Martian, Robin, Superboy, and a blue-armored figure — who look like they've already been through the wringer. Eddy Barrows and Ruy José's cover work is sharp and dynamic, capturing that feeling of a team pushed to its limits against a threat they may not be ready for.
