Duke Nukem: Glorious Bastard #3

Issue three of IDW's Duke Nukem: Glorious Bastard plants the blond, musclebound Duke alongside a green-beret-wearing, dual-pistol-wielding woman as they crouch over a downed enemy soldier — a fleet of alien saucers lighting up the night sky behind a barbed-wire fence and guard tower. Titled "Surprise, You're Dead," the cover telegraphs the kind of pulpy, World War II-flavored alien-invasion mayhem that makes this 2011 series such a fun ride for fans of over-the-top action. Waltz and Xermanico bring real energy to the premise, and this third chapter looks to deliver exactly the chaotic charge the title promises.
