Doctor Fate #21

Promising "The Return of Kent and Inza Nelson," this 1990 DC issue grabs your attention immediately with a striking Shawn McManus cover — a golden, chain-hung mirror reflecting the wide-eyed, terrified faces of two people, a man and a woman, screaming as they press against the glass. J.M. DeMatteis, Joe Staton, and Mark Buckingham bring their talents to "The Bleeding World," a title that suggests something deeply unsettling is stirring in Dr. Fate's corner of the DC universe. If you've been following this series, issue #21 looks like a genuinely compelling chapter.
