Squadron Supreme #6

In "Questions of Loyalty," the vigilante Nighthawk faces a pivotal moment when he's invited to join the Squadron Supreme—though his lack of superpowers doesn't mean he lacks power. Written by J. Michael Straczynski and illustrated by Juan Barranco, with inks by Vicente Cifuentes, colors by Chris Sotomayor, and letters by Joe Caramagna, this 2006 issue explores the weight of allegiance in a world where heroism isn't defined by strength alone. The cover, by Gary Frank, captures the tension of that choice.
