Dialogue aside, I do think that's an awesome cover (Nick Cardy again?). It draws the reader's eye in and is full of exquisite detail. The figures look human and heroic; they have none of the cartoony exaggerations that characterize comic book art these days. Every detail--even Speedy's cap--conveys a sense of power, and the coloring complements the picture instead of overwhelming it.

You're right. It would be a really awesome cover if you got rid of the caption/speech bubble completely.
I love the lightning glow reflected on Wondy and the Wolf.

If I was Cardy, I'd have been PISSED about them using word-balloons on my covers...

Most iconic cover for Donna. Been repeated how any times now? And definate MJ channeling happening here.
Active LMB character is still Beast Boy.

Interestingly, I thought Speedy was the only one channeling "Mary Jane" during this period!

That's really kind of weird gravestone placement.

Funny how the gravestones seem to be arranged in a circle, a la Stonehenge.

Now that I can see it, it totally looks like Phantasm. I think I was thrown by thinking the hood was hair.

Such a great idea, and the execution seems so off with several of the characters. Seems rushed and not well thought out. Maybe it's just me.

I might have felt that way too, but it was my first experience with most of these characters, so I had nothing to base their characterizations on...

It's a compelling cover to see. There are a lot of characters on it that would have drawn my attention. Looking at it now though, it's just off to me.

Golden Eagle's headgear made me laugh out loud.
Some of those poses do seem off but it is still an engaging cover.

I love that cover too. I could read about the adventures of those 12 characters (15 if you throw in Harlequin, Aquagirl and Gnarrk) FOREVER!

It's funny that Harlequin is shown up in the headshots, but Bumblebee replaces her in the lineup on the cover.
I might have had this one as well. Is this Garfield's first appearance as a Titan? Cool, if so.
Golden Eagle is one of my favorite third-string Titans that went nowhere. I think I just like his visual ('cause his powers ain't all that).

I never understood adding Hawk & Dove though. But yeah, that's a groovy line-up!
