Impulse #17

Zatanna looks genuinely startled as she pulls Impulse — grinning wide and sparkling with speed energy — right out of a magician's top hat against a dramatic red-curtained stage backdrop, and the cover absolutely sells the playful chaos that defines this series. The tagline "The Magic That Is Impulse" doubles as a clever nod to the guest star, while Humberto Ramos and Wayne Faucher's loose, expressive linework gives the whole thing an infectious cartoon energy. Mark Waid's "Quicker Than the Eye" promises exactly the kind of fast-and-funny storytelling that made this 1996 run such a treat.
