Freak Force #3

From Image Comics' 1997 revival of the Freak Force universe, issue #3 delivers a cover that wastes no time making an impression. Andy Kuhn's art puts a massive, armored villain in red and black center stage — looming upside-down over the reader with menacing clawed hands — while a dark, small figure stands amid a pile of downed heroes below. It's a striking composition that sets up a serious threat facing the team, and with Erik Larsen and Eric Stephenson at the helm, fans of hard-hitting superhero action will find plenty to anticipate inside.
