Heroes for Hire #5

Broken Bonds" kicks off in style with this November 1997 installment, and Pascual Ferry and Jaime Mendoza pack the cover with kinetic energy — a sword-wielding armored warrior, a green-costumed powerhouse, a red-clad fighter channeling crackling energy, and the winged Wasp clash against a wave of menacing opponents in the foreground. The character portraits framed in the upper-left corner remind you just how deep this team's roster runs. John Ostrander's script promises plenty of turbulence ahead, and this first chapter of a two-part arc looks like a genuinely satisfying ride.
