Teen Titans #71

A fierce, hawk-masked figure dominates this July 2009 cover, gripping a display that reflects ghostly images of several Teen Titans — including a blonde screaming heroine, a green-skinned girl, a glowing armored figure, and what appears to be a bestial form — all rendered with crackling energy by cover penciler Joe Bennett and inker Jack Jadson. The story is titled "Homecoming," and that predatory grin above the feathered costume suggests the team's return carries some serious tension. With Sean McKeever writing and Yıldıray Çınar on interior art, this 2009 chapter of DC's young heroes promises plenty of drama for longtime fans of the Titans.
