Protectors #6

In "After the Fall," the Protectors grapple with loss and fracture as they mourn Night Mask’s death, even as John Fraley urges the team to disband. At the funeral, their grief turns to action when Mr. Monday and the Steel Army launch a brutal assault, testing the group’s resolve and revealing a hidden observer in the shadows. Written by R. A. Jones and illustrated by Thomas Derenick, with colors by The Malibu Pack Rats, Edd Hendrix, Mark Christy, and Tom O’Connor, and lettered by Clem Robins, the issue’s cover by S. Clarke Hawbaker captures the weight of the moment.
