UltraForce #15

The cover of UltraForce #15 (December 1996) pulls no punches — a massive armored villain dominates the foreground, firing a blazing energy beam as multiple UltraForce members are caught in the chaos around him, with a caped figure streaking through the air above. The cover's bold challenge — "Who Will Die to Save the World?" — gives this Malibu Comics finale-teaser real weight, and the dynamic pencils and inks by Mike Deodato Jr. deliver a sense of desperate, full-team crisis that's hard to look away from. Written by Len Wein with interior art by Andy Park, this is a late-era Malibu superhero book going for broke.
