Blood Syndicate #33

Blood Syndicate #33 brings Kwai's solo spotlight front and center, with the cover's tagline warning that her return to a mystic homeland will make her wish the whole Syndicate had come along. Jeff Moore's cover assembles a vivid portrait of the team — including a striking white-haired figure bearing mystical kanji markings, a cool-headed young man in a star-moon cap and shades, a woman in American-flag-styled armor, and several other members crowding the frame in a dynamic group composition. At just 99 cents for 32 fully painted pages, this December 1995 Milestone issue is a great example of the line delivering real storytelling ambition at an accessible price.
