The Shield #4

The Shield strides forward in full red-white-and-blue armor on this striking February 2010 cover by Sami Basri, surrounded by a diverse array of costumed figures — including a flaming-haired hero, a staff-wielding warrior, and several others representing what the cover announces as the Great Ten. The ensemble composition promises an international scope to the "New Mission" teased on the cover, with the Shield standing resolute at the center of it all. Rounding out the package is a second feature spotlighting Inferno, making this a solid double-dose of DC superhero action crafted by Trautmann, Richards, and Faucher.
