Heroes #2
"Portents" in Heroes #2 (1987) delivers a quietly unsettling mystery as the Heroes grapple with robots that mimic aggression without intent to harm. Written and drawn by John Nordland II—also handling inks and letters—this issue weaves together ancient forces and a personal legacy, as the old Gods stir and a zombie awakens, all while Ian Hill uncovers the mysterious effects left by his vanished Uncle Jack. The cover by Robert Bostick captures the story’s eerie, introspective tone.
