Crossover #4

Three figures burst through a torn-paper portal into our world on Geoff Shaw's kinetic cover for Crossover #4 — a masked woman in a yellow coat leads the charge, flanked by a young girl and a weathered older man, while a swarm of silhouetted figures looms dramatically behind them. The torn-comic-page framing, rendered in Shaw's expressive linework with Dee Cunniffe's vivid colors, makes it feel like the boundary between fiction and reality is genuinely coming apart at the seams. With Donny Cates scripting and the intriguing chapter title "What the Hell is Valofax?", this 2021 Image series continues to be one of the more imaginative high-concept rides on the shelf.
