Big Man Plans #3

The third chapter of Eric Powell and Tim Wiesch's brutal four-part series arrives with a cover that says everything without saying a word — a small, powerfully built figure, fists clenched, consumed by a roaring wall of flame against a pitch-black backdrop. Powell's cover art (pencils and inks both his own) conveys raw, unstoppable fury with remarkable economy, making the diminutive protagonist feel anything but small. If the intensity of this 2015 Image series has been building, issue three makes clear the fire has well and truly caught.
