Showcase '95 #1

In "Perfect Form," a shapeless alien known as Lord Dichon hijacks a Khundian warship and sets course for Earth, seeking a permanent body to fuel its cosmic conquest. When the warship looms over the planet, Matrix—now under the guidance of Elizabeth Perske, Lex Luthor’s ex-wife—faces a crisis as her powers spiral out of control, only to be captured and reduced to her protoplasmic essence by the alien’s chilling design.

In "Do the Clothes Make the Man?", Argus faces a crisis when his armored suit is destroyed in battle with the son of arms dealer Lee Anne Mosher. With no backup and his federal mission hanging in the balance, he's forced to confront a tough choice: pay MacAlistaire’s steep price for a replacement suit or go without. The story explores the weight of identity and reliance on gear, all while keeping the stakes personal and grounded in the moment.

In "Ghosts," a powerless Alan Scott confronts spectral echoes of three fallen Justice Society allies, each a memory made manifest. As the visions take hold, the Starheart's energy awakens within him, prompting a new identity: Sentinel. Unbeknownst to him, these apparitions were summoned by the sorcerer Torquemada from another realm, a calculated test to restore Alan’s power and prepare him for a greater threat.
