Suicide Squad: Raise the Flag #4

The fourth chapter of John Ostrander's "Raise the Flag" miniseries puts the tension front and center: a composed, arms-crossed woman stands her ground as a snarling, monstrous figure looms over her, a massive chained weight raised in a threatening fist — and the cover tagline "Face Off!" leaves little doubt that something explosive is about to unfold. John K. Snyder III's cover art captures that confrontation with raw, dynamic energy, the size contrast between the two figures making the woman's cool defiance all the more striking. With interior art by Javier Pina and inks by Robin Riggs, this 2008 DC series continues to prove that the Suicide Squad remains one of the most unpredictable teams in comics.
