Teen Titans #61

The cover of this September 2008 issue sets an electrifying tone, with a powerfully built figure in blue-and-gold armor charging forward through a dust storm while a feral, crimson creature snarls overhead and a smaller Blue Beetle-like hero scrambles in the foreground — all framed by crackling lightning. The tagline "The Team Supreme: The Red and the Blue?" hints at an uneasy alliance between these strikingly contrasted forces. Cover pencils by Eddy Barrows and inks by Ruy José give the whole scene a kinetic, hard-hitting energy that makes Sean McKeever's run feel like must-read territory.
