Doom Force Special #1

Grant Morrison's "Judgment Day" arrives in this 1992 DC Special, its chaotic cover — penciled by Keith Giffen and inked by Mike Mignola — cramming a wild ensemble of screaming, snarling characters into every corner, with a dark caped figure looming above while a purple-clad woman, an armored warrior, and a dalmatian-spotted figure jostle below alongside signs reading "Scratch" and the provocative question "Which one of these heroes will die?" It's a deliberately over-the-top, maximalist composition that wears its satirical intent right on its sleeve. With a creative roster spanning Steve Pugh, Walter Simonson, Ken Steacy, and more, this one-shot is a fascinating artifact of early-'90s comics culture.
