Godzilla: The Half-Century War #3

James Stokoe's cover for issue #3 of this 2012 IDW miniseries is a jaw-dropping clash of titans — Godzilla, jaws wide open, grapples with a massive, red-eyed creature amid a densely packed urban streetscape, crowds of tiny figures and buses scrambling below as buildings crumble in smoke and fire around them. Stokoe's extraordinarily detailed linework turns every inch of the image into a feast for the eyes, from the texture of the monsters' hides to the chaotic street-level panic beneath their feet. If you've been following The Half-Century War, this cover makes a compelling case that issue #3 raises the monster-on-monster stakes considerably.
