The Authority / Lobo: Spring Break Massacre #1

Lobo's leering, red-eyed face dominates this 2005 DC one-shot, his jagged grin stretching wide as panicked figures — suited men, screaming civilians, and a white-clad woman — are swept up in the chaos surrounding him. The title promise of "Spring Break Massacre!" says everything you need to know about the tone Keith Giffen and Alan Grant are bringing to this collision between the Main Man and The Authority. Simon Bisley's cover art is as gloriously unhinged as the premise deserves, packing an enormous amount of mayhem into every inch of the image.
