Titans #12

Four members of the Titans — including a dark-haired woman in a starfield costume, a figure in blue insectoid armor, a pink-haired green-skinned hero, and a young person in a red hoodie — find themselves squarely in a sniper's crosshairs on Andrew Robinson's taut, dynamic cover. "Deathtrap, Part 1" kicks off a multi-part storyline with an immediate sense of urgency, as the overlapping targeting reticles make clear that someone has these heroes dead to rights. With McKeever writing and Unzueta and Faucher on interior art, this 2009 DC series is in confident hands from the very first chapter.
