Legionnaires #46

The cover of Legionnaires #46 says it all with its blunt tagline — "Grip of Terror!" — as a red-haired Legionnaire in a green-and-black uniform is seized by a massive, stone-textured hand, her expression caught mid-cry while debris explodes around her. Jeffrey Moy and W. C. Carani bring real kinetic force to the image, the crushing grip and swirling rubble giving the whole composition an urgent, almost visceral energy. Roger Stern and Tom McCraw's "Questions and Answers" promises exactly the kind of high-stakes tension that 1997 Legion stories delivered at their best.
