Suicide Squad #47

Geof Isherwood's cover for this November 1990 issue pulls no punches — Ravan and Kobra are locked in a ferocious, close-quarters struggle, each man gripping the other with murderous intent while a green serpent coils ominously overhead. The bold cover copy "Ravan vs. Kobra — To the Death!" sets the stakes perfectly, promising the kind of brutal, morally tangled storytelling that made John Ostrander and Kim Yale's run on this series so compelling. "Choice of Dooms" sounds like exactly the sort of title that delivers on that promise.
