Hex #17

From the team of Fleisher, Giffen, and Garzón comes this late-series chapter of DC's sci-fi western Hex, pitting its lone gunfighter against a swarm of menacing alien creatures. The cover — penciled by Keith Giffen and inked by Carlos Garzón — says it all: a blue-clad, knife-wielding figure stands his ground against a massive pile of yellow, insectoid Xxggs bristling with sharp green appendages, their forms towering over him against a turbulent purple sky. "War with the Xxggs!" the cover declares, and the sheer scale of the threat surrounding that solitary human figure makes the odds look grimly compelling.
