Legionnaires #26

The title says it all — "Mutual Distractions!" — and the cover by Jeffrey Moy and W. C. Carani delivers on that promise with gleeful chaos, packing a crowd of Legionnaires into a single chaotic scene. At the center, two teammates share a passionate kiss while those around them react with shock, confusion, and crackling energy — a red-haired heroine, a lightning-powered young man sparking with electricity, a flame-wreathed figure, and a pale, bald Legionnaire all caught up in the mayhem, while a more composed hero broods in the foreground. It's a wonderfully energetic snapshot of 30th-century superhero drama, with writer Tom Peyer, Tom McCraw, and the Moy/Carani art team clearly having fun blending action and romance in equal measure.
