Arcade Kings #2

Dylan Burnett's cover for Arcade Kings #2 delivers an immediate punch — literally — as a menacing red-masked fighter lunges forward with a massive gloved fist aimed straight at the viewer, green blade-like fins flaring from its head in a burst of kinetic energy. The bold flat colors and dynamic composition, with coloring by Walter Baiamonte and Sara Antonellini, give the whole thing the feel of a fighting-game select screen brought to vivid life. If this 2023 Image series is on your radar, this second issue's cover makes a strong case for picking it up.
