Guy Gardner: Warrior #25

This special double-sized issue of Guy Gardner: Warrior marks a milestone anniversary with a cover by Mitch Byrd and Dan Davis that wastes no time signaling serious trouble — a monstrous, fang-baring creature called Dementor towers over a snarling Guy Gardner, flanked by two snarling demonic figures clawing their way into the frame from a hellish, flame-lit background. The tagline "Nightmares DO Come True!" perfectly captures the visceral, overwhelming threat Gardner faces as he charges forward, fists clenched, against seemingly impossible odds. Writer Beau Smith and artist Mitch Byrd deliver this "Family Ties" chapter with the kind of raw, kinetic energy that made Warrior one of DC's more unapologetically bold series of 1994.
