A lotta punch-flying on this cover. SSS is Todd DeZago flying solo, Sal Buscema on breakdowns, Jimmy Palmiotti on finishes, and John Kalisz on colors this month. And it opens with the…
SS 1
Oh ho! A Romita, Jr. cover! Is he on interiors? Nope, it’s Gil Kane again! Legends only for the debut of The Pro. Not that he deserves it or anything. Same creative…

WEB 129
