Bionic Man #22

Steve Austin lunges toward the reader with intense focus on this striking cover, his black-and-red bionic suit crackling with energy as he drives what appears to be a metal rod into cracked earth — the title "BIONIC MAN" literally shattering beneath his power. Mike Mayhew handles both pencils and inks, delivering a dynamic, close-perspective composition that makes the most of the hero's imposing physicality against a swirling, dust-choked backdrop. Twenty-two issues in, Dynamite's 2013 run shows no signs of slowing down.
