Defcon 4 #4

The fourth issue of Image's Defcon 4 closes out the series with a cover that packs the full team into one kinetic, brass-shell-strewn image — a snarling, cybernetically enhanced cast brandishing oversized firearms, blades, and mechanical arms against a smoke-choked orange sky. Mat Broome's pencils and Edwin Rosell's inks give every character a raw, mid-'90s intensity, from the caped bruiser looming at the top to the glowing-haired figure crouching at the edge of the frame. If you've been following this Image sci-fi action title, issue #4 delivers exactly the high-octane cover energy the series promised from the start.
