☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Yesterday's Pain," Cobalt Blue and Overkill clash in a devastating showdown that culminates in Overkill triggering a nuclear explosion within himself. Shielded by a blue crystal, Cobalt Blue emerges from the blast’s aftermath to find himself hunted by alien forces controlling robotic enforcers. As he battles through the ruins, the alien threat proves too great, leading to the capture of both Cobalt Blue and Bobbie. Written by Michael Gustovich and illustrated by Bill Reinhold, with inks by Gustovich, Bob Layton, and Jeff Dee, and colors by Kevin Siembieda, this 1982 issue features a cover by Keith Pollard and Michael Gustovich, capturing the intensity of a story where past trauma echoes into a future of alien conquest.
In "Yesterday's Pain," the Justice Machine races against time as Dr. Victor Von Croft is given 48 hours to heal Diviner or risk her being placed in stasis. Meanwhile, the team confronts an altered human—a monstrous remnant of Von Croft’s World War II experiments in Dauchau—now hunting humans with terrifying precision. The past isn’t just haunting the present; it’s hunting them.
In the aftermath of a catastrophic explosion, Cobalt Blue emerges from a crystalline cocoon to find the scientists Dan and Hatch dead and their colleague Bobbi under attack by alien-controlled mechanoids. With Overkill’s final act leaving the city in ruins, Cobalt Blue must confront the invading alien forces before they fully take control—only to be captured along with Bobbi as the alien ship prepares its next move.
