The Savage Hawkman #2

Part of DC's New 52 launch, The Savage Hawkman #2 arrives in December 2011 with a cover that wastes no time announcing a serious threat. Philip Tan's cover art depicts a massive, shadowy creature with glowing red eyes and a grotesquely open maw looming over Hawkman's gleaming golden, spike-laden helmet — the cover text boldly declaring this the introduction of Morphicius. It's a striking visual contrast between the dark, alien menace and the warm metallic gold of Hawkman's iconic headgear, promising that "Wings of Darkness" lives up to its title.
