Outsiders #38

Outsiders #38 brings the second chapter of "Silver and Grey" with a cover by Daniel Acuña that puts Thunder front and center — black-and-gold costume gleaming, katana in hand, a web of cables whipping around her as a sea of grasping hands surges up from below. The image perfectly captures the kind of outnumbered, unintimidated energy that defines this team, and the creative lineup of Judd Winick, Pop Mhan, and Art Thibert keeps things sharp on the interior pages. A fine September 2006 installment for anyone who likes their superhero action grounded and a little dangerous.
