Firestorm: The Nuclear Man #34

Firestorm blazes at the center of this 2007 cover, bound in some kind of skeletal chain as three adversaries close in — a fierce blonde woman in a teal-and-black costume, an armored woman in sleek blue with glowing fist weapons, and a grinning figure in gold-and-brown gear who lunges toward the viewer. The tagline "Attack of the New Gods" makes clear the Nuclear Man is seriously outnumbered, and Pete Woods renders every figure with sharp, kinetic energy that pulls you right into the standoff. Written by Dwayne McDuffie with art by Pop Mhan, this late-series issue looks like a genuinely fun collision of cosmic threat and superhero firepower.
