In "Total War," Rom’s revelation of the Dire Wraiths’ presence ignites a global assault, forcing him to team up with Starshine and General Locklin’s Project Wraithwatch—only to uncover a terrifying betrayal among the very forces meant to stop the invasion. Written by Bill Mantlo and brought to life with dynamic art by Sal Buscema, Mel Candido, and Ben Sean, this 1984 Marvel issue delivers high-stakes tension and escalating dread. The cover by Bill Sienkiewicz captures the chaos with striking intensity.
