Codename: Stryke Force #0

Five fierce figures burst onto this zero issue of Image's Codename: Stryke Force, with a sword-wielding woman at center, flanked by a massive red-skinned powerhouse, a white-haired warrior in heavy armor, a golden-clawed combatant, and a looming dark figure with a skeletal grin dominating the foreground. Anthony Winn's pencils and D-Tron's inks give the ensemble a kinetic, hard-edged energy that captures the bold ambition of mid-'90s Image Comics in full stride. A solid starting point for anyone curious about this team-driven corner of the Image universe.
