Guy Gardner: Warrior #43

A Warrior's Passing" kicks off in issue #43 with a cover by Phil Jimenez that pulls no punches — Guy Gardner is depicted falling inverted, his powerful mechanical gauntlet shattering apart, while a ring of threatening figures closes in from every angle, their claws, blades, and armored limbs pressing in from the edges. It's a striking, visceral image that sets an unmistakably dire tone for this new arc. With Beau Smith writing and Brad Gorby on interior art, this 1996 DC title promises the kind of hard-hitting drama its subtitle — "You Broke My Heart... So I Busted Your Jaw" — delivers right upfront.
