Godland #1

A sun-drenched collision of cosmic adventure and retro-futurist design, this sixth Godland collection from 2006 brings Joe Casey and Tom Scioli's wildly imaginative vision together in one satisfying package. Scioli's cover is a gloriously busy montage — a massive rocky-textured hero lunges forward in the center, fists raised, while an eclectic cast of colorful figures, giant disembodied villain heads, robots, and towering cityscapes swirl around him in every direction. If you've been following Godland's blend of Silver Age energy and modern storytelling sensibility, "Trial of the New Century" looks like exactly the kind of sprawling, anything-goes chapter the series was built for.
