Terror Titans #1

The DC six-issue miniseries kicks off with this striking December 2008 cover by Joe Bennett and Jack Jadson, presenting the Terror Titans as a formidable, battle-ready unit — a pink-energy-wielding blonde, a dark-armored figure, a scale-suited fighter clutching a staff, and a bolt-emblazoned powerhouse, with a snarling reptilian creature crouching at their feet and an ominous looming face dominating the background. Sean McKeever's "Part One: The Basis of Optimism" promises a story centered squarely on DC's villainous side, giving this team of antagonists a rare spotlight of their own. If you've ever wanted to see the darker corners of the Teen Titans' world explored with genuine depth and menace, this opening chapter is a compelling place to start.
