Brigade #9

Part six of the "Extreme Prejudice" crossover event, this 1994 Image title delivers exactly the kind of raw, kinetic energy that defined the era. The cover, penciled by Chap Yaep and inked by Jon Sibal, dominates with a wild-haired, battle-scarred warrior in tattered armor standing triumphant, staff in hand, over a defeated blue-skinned opponent crumpled at his feet — surrounded by swirling green and yellow energy. With "The Crossing" as the interior story and a creative team including writers Rob Liefeld and Eric Stephenson alongside artist Marat Mychaels, Brigade #9 is a solid chapter in one of Image's most ambitious early crossover runs.
