Bionic Man #19

Dynamite's The Bionic Man #19 makes its strength unmistakably clear right on the cover: Steve Austin hoists an entire car overhead with his gleaming bionic arm, surrounded by flames, rubble, and a crumbling urban street that suggests a scene of serious chaos. Mike Mayhew handles every aspect of the cover art — pencils, inks, and colors — and the result is a kinetic, photorealistic image that puts the hero's superhuman capabilities front and center. If you want a single image that captures what makes this series compelling, this 2013 issue delivers it with confidence.
