Impulse #3

The cover of Impulse #3 says it all — the young speedster bursts through a chaotic crowd of alarmed and aggressive teenagers, lightning crackling around him, with the cheeky tagline "Mr. Popularity" making clear that fitting in at school isn't going exactly as planned. Humberto Ramos and Wayne Faucher's linework crackles with kinetic energy, from the scowling jocks closing in to the cheerleader sent tumbling overhead, pom-pom and all. Mark Waid and the full creative team are bringing their signature humor and heart to this 1995 series, and this issue looks like a thoroughly entertaining take on superhero-meets-high-school chaos.
