Sun Devils #5

Part five of DC's ambitious 12-part maxi-series finds the Sun Devils in the thick of it, as the cover — penciled by Dan Jurgens and inked by Romeo Tanghal — plunges us into a fierce, close-quarters brawl. A white-haired woman in a red-and-white uniform surges forward at the center of the action, flanked by alien-featured fighters and a purple-armored adversary raising a weapon overhead, all of it crackling with the kinetic energy that defined DC's 1984 sci-fi ambitions. Subtitled "Book Two: The Rescue," this fifth chapter promises high stakes and non-stop momentum right on the cover before you've even cracked the spine.
