Future Quest #5

DC's 2016 celebration of Hanna-Barbera's action heroes continues in Future Quest #5, "Part Five: The Wheel of History." Evan Shaner's cover presents a breathtaking tableau of heroes scrambling across the body of a massive teal robot — Frankenstein Jr. — as energy blasts streak through a hazy sky: the Impossibles (in their distinctive red-and-black suits) cling to the giant's torso, Coil Man spirals through the air trailing his spring-like form, and a blue-suited hero and a goggled figure crowd the scene, conveying a team stretched to its limits against something enormous. With Parker writing and Hi-Fi's warm, retro palette setting the mood, this is the kind of all-ages adventure comic that reminds you exactly why these characters endured for decades.
