Mystery in Space #8

The penultimate chapter of this 2007 DC series, "The Decision!", arrives with a cover by penciller Ron Lim and inker Rob Hunter that crackles with fierce energy — two figures locked in furious combat amid a storm of fire and lightning, one in red with a glowing energy weapon, the other a masked, bandaged opponent lunging from behind. Writer Jim Starlin and artist Ron Lim have been steering Captain Comet through the cosmos all series, and this charged confrontation suggests the story is building toward something genuinely intense. A solid entry in a series that brought old-school cosmic adventure back to DC's lineup.
