Kobalt #12

Milestone Media's Kobalt charges into his twelfth issue with the dramatic story arc "Gains and Losses," and this cover by penciler Denys Cowan makes an immediate impression. The armored hero Kobalt stands his ground amid a explosive burst of sparks and water spray, facing down a laughing, seemingly unhinged opponent while a third figure crumples in the foreground — a tense, chaotic street-level confrontation rendered with raw kinetic energy. It's a vivid snapshot of the kind of gritty, grounded superhero storytelling that made Milestone one of 1995's most distinctive voices in comics.
