The Demon #26

The Demon lunges ferociously at a startled man in a business suit against a backdrop of an American flag and city buildings — a collision of supernatural fury and political power that perfectly sets the stage for "Political Asylum!" This first chapter of a four-part story, written by Dwayne McDuffie with interior art by Val Semeiks, promises the kind of sharp storytelling that made DC's early '90s output so compelling. The cover, penciled by Val Semeiks and inked by Karl Kesel, crackles with kinetic energy and makes a strong case for picking up what looks to be a politically charged arc.
