Flash Gordon: Kings Cross #1

Dynamite's 2016 crossover event kicks off in style with this newspaper-themed cover by Roger Langridge, framing the whole affair as a "Comics Section" headline that's impossible to miss. Flash Gordon takes center stage, sword in hand, flanked by a masked strongman with crossed arms, a top-hatted figure conjuring glowing blue energy orbs, and a wild-haired woman mid-action atop a speeding car — with planetary vistas and pulp-panel portraits rounding out the composition. Writer Jeff Parker and artist Jesse Hamm bring "The Mysterious Continent" to life inside, promising the kind of cross-universe adventure that the cover's vibrant, retro energy absolutely delivers on.
