Bad Planet #4

Tim Bradstreet's cover for Bad Planet #4 delivers an unforgettable image: a massive, reptilian alien in battle armor looms against a deep-space backdrop of swirling galaxies, its glowing orange eyes radiating unmistakable menace, while a row of tiny human silhouettes lines the bottom of the frame — a stark reminder of just how outmatched humanity appears to be. The scale contrast alone makes this one of the most arresting covers of 2007, perfectly capturing the cosmic dread that writers Thomas Jane and Steve Niles bring to this series. If you're reading Bad Planet, issue #4 is the kind of cover you don't set face-down.
