The Crusaders #4

With Kalathar fallen, the big question blazes across a monitor on this Dan Jurgens and Keith Williams cover: "Who Shall Be a Crusader?" — and the answer seems to rest with a harried figure slumped over a bank of computers, surrounded by floating portraits of a diverse roster of masked and costumed candidates. It's a clever, character-packed composition that captures the team in flux, teasing a lineup shakeup with real energy. Impact Comics' 1992 run was quietly doing some interesting things with superhero ensemble dynamics, and this issue looks like a pivotal chapter in that story.
