The Titans #8

The cover of The Titans #8 poses a pointed question — "Who made Argent betray the team?" — as a darkly clad Argent stands center stage, surrounded by fallen teammates including a lion-maned figure, a downed hero in gold-and-black, and another sprawled in purple, while an imposing armored figure looms ominously in the background. Mark Buckingham and Wade von Grawbadger's cover composition makes the tension palpable, placing Argent at the heart of what looks like serious intra-team fallout. Writer Devin Grayson wraps up "Need for Speed" with this October 1999 conclusion, and if the cover is any indication, the stakes for the Titans couldn't feel more personal.
