All-Star Section Eight #4

Amanda Conner's cover for issue four of this six-part 2015 miniseries delivers an instantly memorable image: a powerful, star-spangled heroine dominates the foreground from the waist down, her glowing lasso looping outward, while the ragtag members of Section Eight — a gloriously grotesque pile of oddballs including a tentacled figure, a bowler-hatted bruiser, a grey-suited fellow in shades, and a shirtless brawler among others — tumble in a heap between her boots. It's a visual joke that lands perfectly, capturing the comedic gap between genuine superhero grandeur and Section Eight's chaotic shambles. Garth Ennis, John McCrea, and John Kalisz keep the absurdist energy rolling strong at the series' midpoint.
