The Comet #16

The cover of this 1992 Impact Comics release pulls no punches — a dark, looming figure has the Comet in a chokehold while the desperate plea "No…Don't! You Can't…You're My Father!" burns across the image, setting up a charged family confrontation between the two figures. In the background, a third costumed character watches from above near an explosion of energy, adding another layer of tension to an already volatile scene. Cover pencils by Michael Netzer and inks by Dick Giordano give the whole thing a raw, kinetic urgency that makes "Confrontation" feel like exactly the right title for this issue.
