Head Lopper #3

The penultimate chapter of this quarterly adventure series from Image delivers a cover that's equal parts thrilling and charming — a burly, white-haired warrior clutches a sword while grappling with a winged, reddish beast, a chained flail swinging at his side and a small severed head with wild hair tumbling below his feet. Andrew MacLean's linework is clean and confident, balancing genuine menace with a cartoonish wit that gives Head Lopper its distinctive personality. With three issues of momentum behind it, this 2016 release has every reason to keep readers eagerly turning pages.
