Invincible #130

Two powerfully built figures — one long-haired and bearded in tan armor, the other dark-haired in a blue uniform — lock eyes in a tense face-off that fills the entire cover of Invincible #130, with Ryan Ottley's linework making the charged silence between them feel almost louder than any punch. The cover's own tagline puts it perfectly: "Isn't it the worst when superheroes fight? Do they ever fight villains anymore?" With Kirkman writing and Cory Walker on interior art, this 2016 Skybound/Image issue promises exactly the kind of emotionally grounded conflict that has kept this series running strong well past its 100th issue.
