Fused #4

The fourth chapter of Steve Niles's "Think Like a Machine" arc arrives with a cover that makes an immediate impression — a tortured, snarling face with wild hair emerges from massive mechanical armor plating, the human and machine elements locked in uneasy coexistence. Josh Medors's cover work captures the raw tension at the heart of Fused, with that anguished expression pressed against cold, riveted steel suggesting a man struggling against the mechanical form surrounding him. If you've been following this Dark Horse Rocket Comics series through 2004, issue #4 promises to push that man-versus-machine conflict to a breaking point.
