Salvation Run #5

The tagline says it all — "The bigger they are, the harder they fight!" — and this fifth chapter of DC's 2008 villain-exile epic delivers a cover that earns every word. Sean Chen and Walden Wong stage a brutal, crashing melee as a red-haired woman in a yellow-and-black costume is slammed into a crumbling wall, caught between a looming reptilian creature, a massive golden fist, and a smaller scrappy fighter in the background. Matthew Sturges and Joe Bennett bring the chaos of a stranded planet full of DC's worst in "Through A Glass Deadly," and the cover promises the villain-on-villain tension is only getting more vicious by issue five.
