Gen 13 #36

Ivana takes center stage on Gary Frank and Cam Smith's cover for this December 1998 issue, posed with cool confidence on a red chair while armored, silhouetted soldiers loom in the corridor behind her — the tagline "Ivana Busts Out!" leaving little doubt she's running this show. It's a sleek, tension-charged image that puts one of Gen 13's most calculating figures front and center in her element. With Arcudi writing and Frank on interior art, this issue promises the mix of sharp character work and kinetic energy the series does so well.
