Ravage 2099 #29

The cover of Ravage 2099 #29 makes the stakes immediately clear: a sleek, armored figure with flowing purple-and-blue hair — Dethstryk — has an iron grip on a snarling, fang-baring Ravage, tendrils of white energy coiling around the struggle between them. Joe Bennett's pencils and Greg Adams' inks give the confrontation a raw, kinetic charge that suits a story billed right on the cover as "Duel with Dethstryk." Part of Marvel's ambitious 2099 line in 1995, this issue carries the ominous chapter title "The Beginning of the End" — a promise that the tension between these two powerhouses is about to reach a breaking point.
