Defcon 4 #3

Mid-90s Image energy crackles off this cover, where a team of heavily armed and cybernetically enhanced warriors — including a sword-wielding woman atop a ruined structure, a red-haired gunner, and a wild-haired brawler — square off against monstrous, clawed opponents amid a storm of lightning. The moody deep-blue sky and looming dark towers frame the whole chaotic ensemble with a cinematic intensity that's hard to ignore. If you're drawn to action-packed team books with a gritty sci-fi edge, Defcon 4 #3 from Image makes a strong case for itself right from the front cover.
