Fused #3

This third chapter of "Canned Heat" from Steve Niles and Brad Rader's 2002 Image series announces itself with a genuinely unsettling cover by Ben Templesmith — a massive, shadowy mechanical figure looms forward, its skull-like face glowing with eerie light and a single green energy source pulsing at its chest. The dark, textured palette and brooding atmosphere capture exactly the kind of body-horror dread that makes Fused! such a compelling read.
