Invincible #7

Invincible #7 brings a satisfying jolt of superhero tension, with the young hero in his distinctive yellow-and-blue costume looking rattled as a mechanized hand grabs at him — while a red-and-blue caped figure looms in the background. The cover speech bubble makes the promise clear: "One side, kiddo! This looks like a job for — The Guardians of the Globe!" Cory Walker's clean, animated linework gives the whole scene an appealing energy, with Robert Kirkman and Bill Crabtree rounding out a creative team clearly hitting their stride in 2003.
