MaxiMage #2

Part two of the nine-part "Extreme Destroyer" crossover event, this 1996 Image series delivers a cover by penciler Andy Park and inker Lary Stucker that crackles with kinetic energy — a silver-suited woman with flowing dark hair surges forward amid bolts of electricity while a golden, flame-wreathed armored figure fires blazing energy beams toward her from across a star-filled void. The collision of light, fire, and lightning makes it immediately clear that this crossover is operating at full intensity. With William Messner-Loebs, Rob Liefeld, and Eric Stephenson sharing writing duties alongside interior art from Fabio Laguna and Norm Rapmund, MaxiMage #2 is a vivid snapshot of mid-'90s Image ambition at its most charged.
