Cryptozoic Man #2

The cover of this Dynamite Entertainment release is a striking split-face image — half frightened man, half snarling green creature with hollow eyes and jagged fangs — that captures the horrifying duality at the heart of Cryptozoic Man. Tied to AMC's Comic Book Men, this 2013 series promises a super-beast shouldering the fate of a centillion lives across the universes, and the cover's old-school horror-carnival taglines deliver that sense of cosmic dread with real flair. If creature-feature thrills with a pop-culture pedigree sound like your kind of read, issue #2 is an invitation that's hard to resist.
