R.E.B.E.L.S. #9

Two armored combatants collide in a fierce mid-air clash on Kalman Andrasofszky's dynamic cover — one figure in sleek white-and-orange armor bearing down from above while a red-and-orange-suited opponent, wreathed in crackling fire, reels from the impact below. December 2009's R.E.B.E.L.S. #9 promises a heated new chapter as the headline announces Adam Strange and Captain Comet joining the team, with Tony Bedard writing alongside artists Claude St. Aubin and Scott Hanna. "Strange Companions" looks like exactly the kind of cosmic action-packed team-up that makes this DC space opera such a satisfying read.
