Manhunter #12

The cover of this April 1989 DC issue says it all — Manhunter, clad in his striking blue-and-red costume and gripping a staff, faces down a massive, imposing armored figure rendered in gleaming yellow and purple, with debris exploding around them as the story arc reaches its conclusion. Doug Rice's cover art gives the confrontation real weight, the towering antagonist looming over Manhunter in a way that makes the stakes feel genuinely daunting. With John Ostrander and Kim Yale at the helm, "Losers Weepers, Conclusion" promises a satisfying payoff to whatever brought these two combatants to this breaking point.
