Invincible #106

Invincible #106 puts tension front and center — literally — as Mark Grayson and a scarred, grimacing opponent lock fists in a brutal clash of wills, their massive forms filling the frame while two alarmed civilians react in the space-station background behind them. Ryan Ottley's cover art captures that signature Invincible energy: faces stretched with raw intensity, a starfield and distant planet looming overhead, and the unmistakable sense that the stakes are very, very personal. Robert Kirkman's series was proudly billing itself as "the best superhero comic book in the universe" by 2013, and covers like this one make a pretty compelling case.
