Ion #5

Two Green Lanterns find themselves caught in the blazing golden grip of a colossal, ornate entity on this striking cover by Kalman Andrasofszky — one hero straining in the creature's massive claws while the other rears back to strike, both dwarfed by the shimmering, mask-like face looming behind them. Subtitled "The Grip of Madness," issue #5 of Ion: Guardian of the Universe promises a high-stakes cosmic confrontation, with guest star Green Lantern sharing the spotlight alongside Ion against this overwhelming golden force. Ron Marz scripts with art from Tom Grindberg and Greg Tocchini, making this October 2006 chapter of the twelve-part series a visually charged entry in the run.
