The New Guardians #4

In "Open Secrets," the New Guardians regroup after their base is destroyed, finding temporary shelter with Kilowog and Arisia. As Japanese businessmen attempt to acquire Kilowog’s technology—refused, they unleash a towering robot in retaliation—personal stakes rise when Tom’s wife, Terga, discovers she’s pregnant, only to vanish into the hands of the enigmatic Minister Janwillem Kroef. Written by Cary Bates and illustrated by Joe Staton, with inks by Mark Farmer, colors by Carl Gafford, and letters by John Costanza, the issue’s cover by Joe Staton and Mark Farmer captures the tension of a team on the edge.
