The Blue Beetle #27

The tagline says it all — "One Hell of a Date!" — and Rafael Albuquerque's cover delivers on every word, showing Blue Beetle in full armor swooping alongside a dark-haired young woman who's wielding a staff while a swarm of small red demons armed with tridents closes in around them. It's a wonderfully energetic image that balances action and a playful sense of humor, hinting that Will Pfeifer's "Black Magic Woman" story is anything but an ordinary night out. David Baldeón handles the interior art for this July 2008 DC Comics issue, making it a fun pick for anyone who enjoys their superhero adventures with a devilish twist.
