The Darkstars #33

The Darkstars #33 promises an intense August 1995 chapter with the tagline "No More Mr. Nice Mugla!" — and the cover by Mike Collins and Ken Branch delivers on that threat immediately. A massively built, armored figure with glowing blue eyes and a snarling expression lunges straight at the reader, fist forward, wreathed in a fiery explosion of red and orange energy. Writer Michael Jan Friedman and the art team of Collins and Branch are clearly pushing this corner of the DC cosmos into darker, more ferocious territory.
