The New Warriors #14

The cover of The New Warriors #14 (August 1991) sets up a tense underwater confrontation, with the heavily armored villain Sea Urchin seizing Namorita while the story's headline boldly declares that even guest stars Darkhawk and Namor — shown in portrait circles above — cannot save her. Mark Bagley's pencils and Larry Mahlstedt's inks bring real energy to the scene, capturing Namorita's desperate struggle against Sea Urchin's imposing red mechanical suit amid swirling ocean currents. It's a compelling snapshot of the young team's limits, promising a story — "The Breeze of an Underwater Wind" — that pushes the New Warriors well out of their comfort zone.
