The Legend of the Shield #2

The cover of this 1991 Impact Comics release drops the Shield right into a blazing crossfire — surrounded by armed soldiers and a crashed military vehicle, with laser blasts and gunfire erupting from every direction while a companion scrambles nearby. Grant Miehm's cover work captures the chaos with kinetic energy, and the tagline "Desert Heat!" sets the tone for what promises to be a brutal, high-stakes chapter. With Mark Waid co-writing and Miehm handling both story and interior art, Legend of the Shield #2 is shaping up as one of the more grounded, action-driven entries in Impact's early lineup.
