Impulse #19

The classroom setting on Humberto Ramos and Wayne Faucher's cover immediately sets an uneasy tone — a wide-eyed girl clutches a "Teen Beat" magazine blazoned with the ominous message "I Know Who You Are," while a young blond boy peers nervously from behind her and a stern, unsettling figure looms in the background before a chalkboard. It's a wonderfully tense snapshot that plays on secrets and paranoia in Impulse's suburban world. Mark Waid and Tom Peyer's "A Game of Spew" promises that even the everyday rhythms of school life can take a genuinely strange turn for DC's speediest teenager.
