Supreme #23

Supreme #23 pulls no punches as part 2 of the "Extreme Sacrifice" crossover event from Image's January 1995 lineup. The cover by Cedric Nocon and Norm Rapmund presents a battered, bloodied Supreme gritting his teeth while a massive weapon is driven into his chest — a raw, visceral image that immediately signals the stakes of this multi-part story. With Rob Liefeld and Gary Carlson at the helm on the writing side and Cedric Nocon on interior art, this issue sits squarely in the heart of one of the era's most intense superhero crossovers.
