Sovereign Seven #10

Chris Claremont's creator-owned team heads to Gotham City in this first chapter of the three-part "Road Trip!" arc, and the cover sets an urgent tone — six members of the Sovereign Seven sprint forward against a backdrop of explosive fire and crumbling architecture, with the iconic Batman symbol looming large overhead. The group cuts a striking range of looks and powers, from a heavyset armored figure and a woman in red to fighters in sleek tactical suits, all rendered with kinetic energy by Dwayne Turner, who both penciled and inked the cover. At just $1.95, this April 1996 issue promises a DC Universe crossover with real stakes for this distinctive super-team.
