New Gods #20

The cover of this September 1990 issue says it all — a colossal, heavily armored Yuga Khan looms over the chaos, his massive fist crushing debris while smaller New Gods figures are scattered and overwhelmed in a storm of fire and destruction around him. The sneering, fanged visage of this ancient terror dominates the background, making it viscerally clear that the assembled heroes are badly outmatched. With the creative team of Evanier, Hoberg, and Blyberg crafting the story inside and Paris Cullins and Willie Blyberg delivering this striking cover, issue #20 looks like a genuinely intense chapter in the Fourth World saga.
