DV8 vs. Black Ops #2

This November 1997 Image Comics crossover brings the "Techtromis Design" storyline to its second chapter, with Dan Norton's cover putting a heavily armed woman in purple tactical gear front and center — assault rifle raised, heavy pack on her back, and a DV8 emblem on her shoulder — lunging forward against a crackling green circuitry-patterned backdrop. The hazard-striped "CAUTION" bar running down the left edge adds a kinetic urgency that perfectly suits the DV8 vs. Black Ops clash at the heart of this series. Writer Shon Bury and Norton's gritty, energetic style make this a solid entry in the late-'90s Wildstorm universe.
