Ant #3

Ant dominates this vivid Image Comics cover in her gleaming red armor, antennae raised and expression fierce, perched triumphantly atop a mass of grotesque creatures while brandishing a glowing skull in one hand and a chained, eerie figure with green-lit eyes in the other. Mario Gully's cover art — both penciled and inked by him — packs the frame with monstrous detail, from the spiked chains to the decayed figures lurking in the shadowy background. "Reality Bites Part Three" promises to keep the tension high, and this 2005 installment makes a strong case that Ant is one of the more visually daring superhero series Image was putting out at the time.
