Armageddon 2001 #2

The thunderous conclusion to DC's 1991 crossover event arrives in this oversized special, its cover — penciled by Dan Jurgens and inked by Jerry Ordway — depicting the armored titan Monarch looming large at the center while a sprawling cast of DC heroes swirls around him in a burst of crackling yellow energy against a vivid purple backdrop. The cover boldly promises "The Shocking Identity of Monarch — Revealed!", making this the payoff issue the entire crossover has been building toward. With O'Neil, Jurgens, Thibert, Mitchell, and Giordano all contributing to the interior, this is one special that earns its "Special" label.
