Damage #9

Part two of the five-part "Fragments" arc arrives with a cover that cleverly fragments its own imagery — two interlocking panel shards show Damage unleashing crackling energy against a caped, purple-clad opponent, while a smaller inset depicts him cornered and outnumbered. Looming in the foreground, white-haired and sunglasses-clad Iron Munro makes his presence unmistakably felt, hinting at the bigger cast this issue has assembled. Cover pencils by Bill Marimon and inks by Tom McWeeney give the whole thing a kinetic, mid-'90s DC energy that fans of the series will find hard to put down.
