Blood Syndicate #25

This extra-sized 25th-issue anniversary special from Milestone's Blood Syndicate marks the publisher's third year of publication with a striking cover by ChrisCross — a close-up of a massive fist wearing gold-bridged goggles, each lens reflecting a different cluster of Syndicate members caught in the heat of conflict. The left lens shows a shouting figure alongside a powerfully built man and a masked combatant mid-explosion, while the right lens reveals a pale-skinned fighter, a dark-haired woman, and a ghostly figure wreathed in energy. At 48 pages, this 1995 celebration packs in "Unnatural Conclusions" from writer Ivan Velez Jr. and artist ChrisCross, making it a genuinely satisfying milestone for fans who've been riding with the crew from the start.
