Borderlands: The Fall of Fyrestone #1

Fans of Gearbox's anarchic shooter universe get a treat with this premiere issue from IDW, as the beloved Claptrap robot takes center stage on the cover — battered, blue-eyed, and already cracking wise amid a backdrop of fire and rubble, promising readers he'll "catch the recording of his breath" in just a moment. Writer Mikey Neumann and artist Agustín Padilla bring Pandora's chaos to the page, with Padilla and inker José Avilés delivering a cover that captures the game's gritty, darkly comedic aesthetic perfectly. If the irreverent tone of that speech bubble is any indication, The Fall of Fyrestone is set to be a genuinely fun ride through one of sci-fi's most charmingly broken worlds.
