Midnighter #9

The cover by Carlo Pagulayan and Jason Paz says it all: Midnighter, clad in black body armor, clashes violently with a red-haired woman and a helmeted, heavily armed soldier against a backdrop of fire and chaos — and the banner proudly declares he's taking on the Suicide Squad. Steve Orlando and the art team of ACO, Hugo Petrus, and colorist Romulo Fajardo Jr. bring this 2016 DC series to a fever pitch with this ninth issue. If you've been following Midnighter's brutal, no-holds-barred solo adventures, this squad showdown looks like exactly the kind of fight fans have been waiting for.
