Flash Gordon #4

Issue four of Dynamite's 2014 run brings Flash Gordon face-to-face with a winged, golden-armored warrior in a dramatic mid-air clash of blades — sparks flying as the two combatants lock weapons against a sweeping, cloud-lit sky. Marc Laming's cover composition crackles with energy, pitting Flash in his sharp red-and-white uniform against this fierce, hawk-helmed opponent with great white wings. With Jeff Parker writing and Evan Shaner and Jordie Bellaire bringing the interior to life, "Tell the Legend" looks like exactly the kind of thrilling, pulp-adventure storytelling this series was made for.
