The cover of this October 1987 issue delivers a striking Pietà-like image: Plastique cradling a wounded, barely conscious Captain Atom in her arms, her expression quietly conflicted as the cover copy promises "…and in this darkest moment, Plastique knows compassion…" It's a surprisingly tender composition from Pat Broderick, trading the usual superhero dynamism for something more intimate and emotionally charged. With Bates, Broderick, and Smith credited on the book, this issue looks to be one of the series' more emotionally nuanced entries.
