The Outsiders #20

Part of DC's 2009 "Batman: Reborn" initiative, this issue brings Peter J. Tomasi's run to a chapter's close with "The Deep Conclusion." Lee Garbett and Trevor Scott's cover throws the entire Outsiders roster into a chaotic, rubble-strewn brawl — figures in red, blue, and gold costumes surge forward alongside a winged hero and a pale, spiral-marked fighter, while a glowing blonde and a figure crackling with green energy hold the flanks against a tide of white-suited opponents. It's a kinetic, crowded composition that captures exactly the kind of sprawling, no-holds-barred team action this book delivers.
