Superpatriot #1

Image Comics launched this solo series for Superpatriot in 1993, and Dave Johnson's cover sets a punishing tone right from the start — the star-spangled, heavily armored hero grapples mid-air with a massive mechanical enemy while a chaotic firefight erupts among robotic figures in the rubble below. The red, white, and blue motifs on Superpatriot's chest and the sheer kinetic energy of the struggle make this a striking opener for a series crafted by Erik Larsen and Keith Giffen.
