Encounter #1
"Encounter!" kicks off a fresh chapter in the cosmic adventures of alien superhero Encounter, who squares off against the tech-savvy Gadget Man while flashes of his early days on Earth surface—memories of his first meeting with Barko and Kayla, now tinged with the weight of what it means to belong. Written by Art Baltazar, Chris Giarrusso, and Franco, with full art, inks, colors, and letters by Chris Giarrusso, the issue blends heartfelt nostalgia with high-stakes action, all rendered in a vibrant, dynamic style. The cover by Chris Giarrusso captures the clash in bold, expressive detail.
