Union #9

The second chapter of "Regal Vengeance" arrives in fine form, with cover art by Michael Golden showcasing a purple-and-gold-armored Union surging forward through a shattering explosion of lightning and fragmented faces — his expression fierce, one fist clutching a crackling, disembodied skull-like object crackling with green energy. Surrounding him are shards of screaming, anguished visages that give the composition an intense, almost kaleidoscopic sense of overwhelming conflict. It's a striking 1995 Image cover that sets a dramatic tone for this middle chapter of the three-part arc.
