Brigade #18

Brigade #18 (1995) introduces a tense, high-stakes early chapter in the series, as the newly assembled team is targeted before they’ve even had a chance to solidify—each member separately ambushed by a shadowy cult seeking to exploit their unique abilities. Written by Marv Wolfman and illustrated by Manny Clark, with dynamic inks by Mark Morales and vivid colors by Byron Talman and Extreme Color, the issue builds suspense through isolated confrontations and an eerie sense of impending doom. The cover, by Manny Clark and Danny Miki, captures the moment of vulnerability with striking intensity.
