Fire Power #18

Chris Samnee's cover for Fire Power #18 (December 2021) is a striking study in contrast — a lone armored warrior stands atop a snowy mountain peak, staff in hand, silhouetted against a sky blazing with red smoke and fire, while the slope below is littered with defeated fallen figures and broken arrows. The cool blues of the snow and bodies versus the infernal red sky create a mood that feels both triumphant and deeply unsettling. Robert Kirkman and Samnee's action series continues to deliver this kind of vivid, dramatically charged imagery that rewards a long look before you even open the cover.
