Invincible #103

Invincible #103 brings one of the series' most unsettling villains front and center — a massive, exposed brain atop a grimacing humanoid face, looming over a sleek mechanical device with glowing red indicators. Ryan Ottley's cover art captures the figure with an almost uncomfortably intimate close-up, all rendered texture and simmering menace. Robert Kirkman's long-running Skybound series was in strong form in 2013, and this issue's cover promises the kind of genuinely weird, high-stakes energy that keeps readers coming back.
