Damage #12

This April 1995 issue wraps up the "Fragments" arc with a cover that pulses with quiet intensity — a determined young man in a jacket charges forward, one hand braced against a crumbling pillar while the other cradles a swirling sphere of brilliant blue energy, its light reflecting off the circular emblem on his chest. Jean Fordyce's painted cover art gives the scene a cinematic, almost photorealistic quality that sets it apart from typical superhero fare of the era. With Joyner, Marimon, and Hillsman bringing the interior story home, this conclusion promises the answers the arc's title has been building toward.
