Firestorm: The Nuclear Man #35

The cover of this June 2007 issue says it all — Firestorm hovers alone above a city street, channeling a blazing nuclear beam upward while a swarm of darkly menacing Parademons descends around him from every angle, their purple-glowing eyes cutting through the shadows. It's a striking visual of one hero against an overwhelming tide, and with Dwayne McDuffie writing and Pop Mhan on interior art, the creative team brings real energy to the Nuclear Man's corner of the DC Universe. Pete Woods delivers a cover composition that genuinely earns the "Parademon Assault!" banner.
