Shogun Warriors #14
In "Should Heroes Fail...", the Shogun Warriors face their greatest challenge yet as Demonicus unleashes colossal monsters upon Earth, pushing the team to the brink.

Written by Doug Moench and brought to life by Herb Trimpe’s dynamic art, with inks by Mike Esposito and colors by Bob Sharen, this 1980 issue delivers high-stakes action and a pivotal moment in the series. The cover, by Al Milgrom, captures the epic scale of the battle in bold, striking detail.

The Warriors are overwhelmed by Demonicus' giant monsters. Dr. Tambura tells the pilots to put on cybernetic helmets that will allow each one to mind merge with their robots to control them more efficiently. The Warriors then destroy the monsters blasting Cerberus to bits, blasting Starchild to death, and atomizing the Hand of Five. Demonicus then launches an even bigger meteor at Earth. The Warriors split his space station in half launching one half at the meteor deflecting it away from Earth, and taking the other half back to Earth so SHIELD can take Demonicus and his men into custody.
