The Ray #19

Part of DC's 1995 "Underworld Unleashed" crossover event, this issue of The Ray hits hard with a cover by Jason Armstrong and Ande Parks that throws three very different threats into one chaotic collision. A massive armored villain dominates the foreground, while a looming fanged figure in a golden helmet glowers from above and a determined young Ray braces himself against a fiery backdrop — the subtitle "Monster³" makes it clear he's outnumbered. Writer Christopher Priest and artist Jason Armstrong deliver the kind of cover that makes you want to flip straight to page one.
