Teen Titans #7

The "Dark Nemesis Rules!!" graffiti splashed across a shattered brick wall sets an immediately menacing tone for this 1997 Dan Jurgens and George Pérez chapter of the Teen Titans saga. The cover — penciled by Jurgens and inked by Pérez — presents a striking lineup of five armored and powered figures standing amid the rubble, including a green-armored bruiser, a black-suited heavy, a flame-patterned woman, a white-haired woman crackling with blue lightning, and a blue-skinned figure looming in the smoky background, while downed Titans lie defeated at their feet. With "Dark Nemesis, Part 1 of 2" kicking off a two-part confrontation, this issue promises the kind of high-stakes team conflict that made mid-'90s DC a genuinely fun ride.
