Carvers #3

The Pander Bros.' cover for Carvers #3 drops two wildly distinct characters — a green-masked, insectoid figure clutching a sleek blade and a spiky-haired, yellow-clad fighter — straight into the spiraling maw of some enormous, tooth-lined creature, the whole composition spinning with a dizzying sense of freefall. It's a striking piece of late-'90s Image energy, with Robert Loren Fleming and the Pander Brothers delivering the kind of kinetic, off-kilter superhero work that made this era genuinely interesting. "End Run" promises the chaos the cover so vividly teases.
