Firebrand #9

Sal Velluto's cover for Firebrand #9 delivers a vertigo-inducing perspective — a towering urban high-rise dominates the composition while a costumed figure in blue and gold tumbles through the air, green energy blazing around them, with a second figure clinging to the building's face far below. Brian Augustyn and Velluto's creative team brings real visual ambition to this October 1996 DC series, framing the titled "Final Notice" with a sense of genuine freefall urgency. If you've been following this underrated mid-'90s series, this issue's cover alone signals that the stakes have climbed as high as the building itself.
