Stormwatch #36

Chapter 12 of Image's sprawling 1996 crossover event "Fire From Heaven" arrives in Stormwatch #36, and the cover — penciled by Scott Clark and Renato Arlem with inks by Chris Carlson — puts the team front and center amid a rubble-strewn cityscape. A powerfully built hero in red and blue charges forward alongside a dark-armored figure bearing a shield, while a purple-and-yellow clad woman surges up from the foreground and a blue-furred teammate grapples with a toothy creature in the background. It's a packed, kinetic snapshot of a team under serious pressure, and a satisfying installment for anyone following this ambitious multi-title saga.
