Rann / Thanagar War #3

Halfway through this 2005 DC limited series, the interplanetary conflict between Rann and Thanagar turns personal — the cover by Ivan Reis and Marcelo Campos puts Adam Strange and Hawkwoman on a collision course, weapons raised mid-flight against a blazing orange sky. Strange's jetpack and ray gun face off against Hawkwoman's fierce wingspan and mace in a clash that crackles with tension. With Dave Gibbons writing and Ivan Reis on interior art, "Planetfall" promises the kind of cosmic-scale drama that makes this crossover event one to follow issue by issue.
