Invincible #59

Issue #59 of Robert Kirkman's Invincible delivers a cover that puts the hero squarely on the defensive — dressed in his blue-and-black suit, Mark Grayson braces himself as a powerful blonde-haired opponent in a dark bodysuit bears down on him with a massive, crackling punch. Ryan Ottley's linework crackles with kinetic energy, the glowing impact surrounding both figures giving the confrontation a real sense of weight and scale. FCO Plascencia's cool green-tinted lighting ties the whole composition together, making this 2009 Image Comics chapter feel as urgent as anything in the series.
