The L.A.W. (Living Assault Weapons) #1

DC's forgotten Charlton heroes get their moment in the spotlight with this 1999 six-issue miniseries, uniting Blue Beetle, The Question, Judomaster, Captain Atom, The Peacemaker, and Nightshade under the banner of the Living Assault Weapons. Dick Giordano and Bob Layton's cover puts Blue Beetle front and center — suited up in full blue, twin-goggled, and leaping into action with a staff raised in one hand and a blaster firing in the other — while a shadowy, ghost-like face looms in the lower corner, hinting at the larger forces at play in "Avatar Rising." It's a confident, action-charged opener that makes a strong case for why these characters deserve their own team book.
