Codename: Stryke Force #8

Codename: Stryke Force #8 (1994) delivers a tense, high-stakes chapter in the series’ ongoing saga, with Marc Silvestri and Mike Heisler crafting a story where the shape-shifting alien Sh'rrrnn struggles to maintain its deception as it takes over Bloodbow’s role within the team. When Stryker takes a mission from Joshua Thornewood—only to learn his twin brother Jacob has hired an old enemy—the team is thrown into a brutal clash with the Scavengers, emerging defeated and left for dead. Joe Benitez’s dynamic interior art, enhanced by a team of inkers and colorists including Brian Haberlin and Juan Carlos Rodriguez, brings the chaos and grit of the fight to life, while Aaron Sowd’s cover pencils and inks capture the moment’s intensity.
