Human Bomb #3

Issue three of this four-part DC miniseries puts the pressure squarely on the Human Bomb as the cover tagline declares "The Invasion Begins Now!" — and the artwork by Jerry Ordway makes that threat feel immediate. A blond man and a woman brandishing a blazing energy sphere are caught mid-run in a chamber lined with bodies in stasis pods, while a hulking, reptilian creature looms menacingly at the left edge of the frame. Writers Justin Gray and Jimmy Palmiotti's "Behind Enemy Lines" chapter promises high-stakes tension, and Ordway's dynamic figures and Hi-Fi's vivid colors deliver a cover that earns every bit of that urgency.
