Doom 2099 #31

Pat Broderick's cover for "American Dream" delivers one of 1995's most arresting images: a skeletal, decayed Statue of Liberty stands amid billowing flames and smoke, clutching Doom's blue armored mask in her bony hands while a swarm of yellow arrow-shaped drones fills the darkened sky above her. The symbolism is hard to miss — liberty corrupted, a nation in crisis, and Doom's identity literally held captive at the center of it all. Warren Ellis and David Klein's vision of a burning future America promises a story as unsettling as the cover suggests.
