Justice League America #86

Tom Raney's cover for this March 1994 issue sets the tension immediately — a powerful pale-skinned figure in red gloves and boots squares off against a yellow-and-black armored opponent, both framed against a dramatic burst of orange energy amid a purple-splattered background. The story title "God in the Machine" blazes across the bottom, hinting at big, bold ideas to match the physical confrontation on display. Dan Vado, Marc Campos, and company kick off "Cult of the Machine" with what promises to be a compelling first chapter in the Justice League America lineup.
