The L.A.W. (Living Assault Weapons) #5

The penultimate chapter of this six-issue DC series arrives with a striking cover by Dick Giordano and Bob Layton, featuring Judomaster — in her distinctive white-and-red costume, blonde ponytail streaming behind her — lunging forward in a burst of smoke and explosive energy. Looming in the background are two other figures, one helmeted with a golden visor, alongside the shadowy presence of a suited man, hinting at the layered tensions running through this team of Living Assault Weapons. With Blue Beetle, Nightshade, the Atom, the Question, and the Peacemaker all part of the roster, "To Serve and Protect" promises a lot of firepower heading into the finale.
