Bad Planet #3

Bad Planet #3 brings the creature-feature mayhem of this Raw Studios/Image collaboration roaring into its third chapter, with cover art by Mark Schultz that puts a woman at the wheel of a vintage car while a hulking, cloaked figure brandishes an axe behind her — all as enormous, spider-limbed alien monsters swarm the vehicle against a ruined cityscape backdrop. The "Super-Terror 3D" section promised on the cover, complete with included glasses, makes this 2007 issue a genuinely fun artifact of pulp sci-fi horror ambition. Steve Niles and Thomas Jane's creative partnership, rendered here by James Daly III and Tim Bradstreet, keeps delivering the kind of high-stakes monster-on-the-loose energy that makes Bad Planet such a satisfying read.
