Night Thrasher #5

The cover tagline "Guess Who Can't Fly?" says it all — Night Thrasher is shown tumbling inverted through open sky, his black-and-red armored suit in full detail, while a jet aircraft trails smoke in the background behind him. Javier Saltares's cover art captures a genuinely vertiginous moment, with the ground nowhere in sight and the hero's outstretched arms suggesting a free-fall situation that looks every bit as dire as it sounds. Fabian Nicieza's "The High Ground" promises a 1993 Marvel story that puts this street-level warrior well outside his comfort zone.
