Cyber Force #4

A battle-worn woman crouches amid a field of spent brass casings, clutching a pistol overhead with mechanical, chain-wrapped limbs hinting at her cybernetic nature — it's a striking image that sets the tone for Top Cow's gritty sci-fi world. Marc Silvestri's cover pencils bring raw intensity to this 2013 Image title, with a desolate, carnage-strewn landscape stretching behind her under a turbulent sky. With a creative team that includes Khoi Pham on interiors and Stjepan Sejic among the contributors, Cyber Force #4 was a pretty compelling package — especially given it was offered free to readers.
