Invincible #74

The Viltrumite War rages across this 2010 installment of Robert Kirkman and Ryan Ottley's Invincible, and the cover makes the stakes unmistakably clear. A imposing, mustachioed Viltrumite warrior in a fur-collared suit dominates the composition, his fist thrust toward the viewer against a backdrop of burning cities, warships, and combatants locked in aerial battle. Below, a series of panels tease a fierce young fighter squaring off and a battered, bloodied opponent — all rendered with Ottley's sharp, kinetic linework alongside inking by Cliff Rathburn and colors by FCO Plascencia.
