King: Flash Gordon #4

King: Flash Gordon #4 brings together a genuinely exciting ensemble on its cover — Flash himself charges forward in his distinctive red-and-white uniform, flanked by a bearded Dr. Zarkov and a determined Dale Arden, while behind them loom a golden-armored alien warrior and a snarling lion-man creature. The whole group is framed dramatically between two enormous curved blades belonging to a massive shadowy figure whose face fills the background, suggesting the heroes are walking straight into something formidable. With writing by Ben Acker and Ben Blacker and this striking cover by Jonathan Lau, this 2015 Dynamite series continues to deliver pulp adventure with real visual punch.
