Teen Titans #9

This is the conclusion to "The Culling" crossover event, and the cover by Brett Booth and Norm Rapmund makes the stakes unmistakably clear — a massive, dark-winged Harvest looms over a glowing, red-energy-wrapped blonde hero, their clash set against a backdrop of flames and fallen figures strewn across the ground below. The bold tagline "Harvest Wins!" stamped across the bottom gives the image a genuine sense of weight and consequence. Scott Lobdell, Tom DeFalco, Ig Guara, and JP Mayer bring this New 52 chapter to a close in what the cover promises is anything but a comfortable victory for the Titans.
