The New Warriors Annual #3

This 64-page 1993 annual brings the "Forces of Darkness, Forces of Light" crossover to its conclusion with a cover that makes an immediate impression: a massive, screaming dark entity dominates the composition, its tendrils ensnaring Spider-Man and several New Warriors — including Cloak, Dagger, and other members scattered across the frame in desperate struggle. Darick Robertson's pencils and Larry Mahlstedt's inks give the threat a genuinely unsettling scale, with the heroes looking convincingly outmatched against the swirling darkness. "The Unbearable Darkness of Being" promises a high-stakes payoff, and this oversized annual delivers the kind of scope that a crossover conclusion demands.
