Invisible Republic #6

Gabriel Hardman and Corinna Bechko's political sci-fi series reaches its sixth chapter with a cover that radiates tension — a grim, bespectacled man armed with a futuristic rifle dominates the foreground, while behind him a crowd scatters and a spacecraft tears apart in a burst of smoke and debris. Hardman's cover art, colored by Jordan Boyd, splits the image between stark white and deep red-brown tones, giving the whole scene a weathered, almost archival feel that suits this series' brooding examination of collapsed regimes. If you've been following this Image title, issue six looks ready to keep the pressure on.
