Orion #8

In "The Righteous Treacheries of Desaad! or Orion Rules!", Orion faces off against an army of clones modeled after Billion Dollar Bates, while on Earth, the Newsboy Legion takes a bold stand by clearing all the tax liens in Suicide Slum—drawing the unwanted attention of the corrupt developer Arnicus Wolfram. Written and illustrated by Walter Simonson, with inks by Bob Wiacek and colors by Sherilyn Van Valkenburgh and Jamison, this 2001 issue delivers a sharp blend of cosmic conflict and street-level stakes, all rendered with Simonson’s signature precision and flair. The cover, also by Simonson, captures the intensity of the battle with striking detail.
