Alpha: Big Time #2

Part two of Joshua Hale Fialkov and Nuno Plati's series finds Alpha's young cast in full, energetic motion — Humberto Ramos's cover depicts a grinning blonde teenager crackling with energy, a dark-haired girl brandishing a sneaker, and a masked kid in a hoodie all tumbling forward against a bold red, web-strewn background dominated by a giant spider-symbol. It's a lively, kinetic image that captures the scrappy, youthful spirit of this teen-hero series perfectly. If you're following Alpha's "Big Time" adventures in 2013, this issue promises more of the chaotic fun that's already on full display.
