The New Titans #98

Part of "The Darkening" storyline, this 1993 DC issue plants the New Titans firmly in Chapter Two, with Nightwing leading the charge at the center of Tom Grummett and Al Vey's cover. The full team assembles around him — Starfire, Pantha, Cyborg, Red Star, and a blazing energy figure among them — standing defiant amid rubble with the tagline "Against All Odds!" looming large. Marv Wolfman's long-running tenure with these characters gives the gathering a real sense of stakes, and Grummett's clean, dynamic linework makes this one of the more visually satisfying covers of the era.
