Violator vs. Badrock

In the mid-1990s, Image Comics pitted two of its most brutal heavyweights against each other in this four-issue slugfest. Written by Alan Moore and primarily illustrated by Brian Denham, the series sees the demonic Violator face off against the super-soldier Badrock, with allies like Celestine and Dr. Sally McAllister caught in the crossfire. It also introduces the twisted spawn Vandalizer and Vaporizer, expanding the violent mythology of the Spawn universe. A raw, no-holds-barred crossover, it remains a key artifact of Image’s early, bombastic era.
