Impulse #70

Two speedsters race to outpace a barreling purple locomotive on this kinetic 2001 cover — Impulse shouting "I'll save you!" as he and a second red-suited, lightning-crackling hero sprint alongside the train toward a young woman chained helplessly to the tracks below. The playful subtitle "The (Loco) Motion Picture!" sets a tone that's equal parts thrilling and tongue-in-cheek, and the cover art by Ethan Van Sciver and Wayne Faucher crackles with urgency and wit. Todd DeZago, Carlo Barberi, and Juan Vlasco deliver what looks like a seriously fun ride for fans of DC's fastest teen hero.
