The Comet #5

From Impact Comics' 1991 lineup comes The Comet #5, promising a "Blazing Battle with Inferno!" right on the cover. Tom Lyle's cover art sends the red-and-blue-suited Comet streaking through a fiery sky above a city skyline, locked in aerial pursuit with a green-armored antagonist — the energy rings around the Comet's hands suggesting the confrontation is already well underway. With a story titled "Showdown over Oakland!" and a creative team including Mark Waid and Tom Lyle, this is a superhero throwdown with real momentum behind it.
