The Patriots #8

A tattered American flag flies overhead as a determined man channels a blazing energy burst directly into a massive, battle-worn mech, while another figure is visible in the machine's cockpit — it's a tense, high-stakes confrontation rendered with real kinetic force by Michael Ryan and Randy Elliott. The Patriots #8 from WildStorm's 2000 lineup carries the evocative story title "Tower Bridge Is Falling Down!", hinting at dramatic stakes to match the cover's explosive imagery. Jonathan Peterson's series continues to blend patriotic iconography with full-throttle superhero action in a package that's hard to put down.
