Invincible #98

Two battered, bloodied heroes charge straight at the viewer through a landscape of fire and shattered debris — the urgency on their faces making it clear something has gone very, very wrong. This is Part One of "The Death of Everyone," a three-part arc that signals Robert Kirkman isn't pulling any punches as Invincible barrels toward its landmark 100th issue. Ryan Ottley's cover art — raw, kinetic, and drenched in bruises and flame — sets a gripping tone for what promises to be one of 2012's most intense superhero storylines.
