Dove's back...

..or her Ed Benes-enhanced front, anyway.

Honestly, I like Ed Benes art for pinups - it has a pleasant, cheesecake aspect without going too overboard (I know that many will disagree) but recently I've always found his interiors too stiff, posed.

Not everyone needs to be thrusting their ass out for the panel's POV.

That said, I love this cover. It's a pretty simple construction, with the Black Lantern hands forcing your focus inward on the threatened Dove, and she looks suitable menaced and endangered.

There's the obligatory ripped mask and tattered clothing - but, surprisingly, her outfit isn't too tattered, and her dignity is intact.

That said, her appearance here does unfortunately mean that I'll probably be picking up the Blackest Night: Titans book, as Hawk and Dove have long been favorites of mine - ever since Armageddon 2001 where, oddly enough, where Dove was killed by the future Hawk, Monarch.

Man, she's lucky she came back before Black Hand got all ring happy....although isn't Hank Hall dead at the moment, after Atom Smasher swapped him out for his mother on a doomed aircraft?

Hmm....
