Primal Force #0

Promising something bold right from the start, Primal Force #0 kicks off DC's 1994 series with a striking cover by penciler Ken Hooper and inker Barbara Kaalberg, assembling a grim-faced team of five distinctly different figures — a massive, imposing gorilla-like brute looming at the rear, flanked by a scarlet-skinned armored figure and a heavily scarred red-faced combatant, while a determined young woman cradles a glowing ember-like object at center and a fierce long-haired warrior rounds out the group. The tagline "The Beginning of Tomorrow!" sets an appropriately ambitious tone for this zero issue, written by Steven T. Seagle. If you've been curious about this corner of the mid-'90s DC universe, this is the natural place to start.
