Brute Force #4

The four-issue limited series "Protectors of the Environment" reaches its conclusion here, with the cover — penciled by José Delbo and inked by Mike DeCarlo — delivering exactly what's promised: Brute Force's team of cybernetically enhanced animals (including a bear, eagle, wolf, and more) clashing head-on against the villainous Heavy Metal squad in "The Final Showdown!" The two sides face off across a bold yellow background, packed with armored animals, sharp claws, and ready weapons that make the stakes feel genuinely thrilling. It's a satisfying capstone to this 1990 Marvel series that dared to pit eco-warrior creatures against their corrupt counterparts.
