The Darkstars #5

The cover of The Darkstars #5 (1993) promises serious interstellar conflict, splashing the bold headline "Hawk War!" across a dynamic scene where a Darkstar in red-and-white armor trades blows with a hawk-winged warrior in gold and yellow — feathers and fists flying with real intensity. A third figure crouches in the background, wreathed in flame, adding an extra layer of danger to an already crowded battlefield. Penciled by Travis Charest and inked by Scott Hanna, it's a visually charged entry in DC's cosmic corner, with writer Michael Jan Friedman delivering the story inside.
