New Gods #26

The cover of this 1991 DC series entry asks a pointed question — "New Gods Never Die… Do They?" — as a white-costumed, golden-haired figure reels in apparent agony, a glowing wound at her chest, while a cloaked figure in the foreground levels a large sci-fi weapon her way. Rick Hoberg's pencils and Willie Blyberg's inks give the scene a genuinely unsettling tension, set against the grim, industrial architecture of the Fourth World. With Mark Evanier and Hoberg at the helm for the story "Gods Never Die," this issue promises the kind of high-stakes cosmic drama that makes this corner of the DC universe so compelling.
