Brit #4

Issue four of Image's Brit series delivers a cover that practically radiates raw power — a scarred, barrel-chested older man squares up with fists raised against a fiery orange explosion, while a masked, armored figure hurls what appears to be a crumbling aircraft overhead. Cliff Rathburn's cover art captures the series' bruising, no-frills energy with confident linework and a blazing color palette that makes the chaos feel immediate. Spinning out of Invincible, this 2008 Image series with a creative team of Brown, Kuhn, and Rathburn continues to carve out its own hard-hitting corner of the universe.
