Kings Quest #2

The cover of Kings Quest #2 from Dynamite Entertainment pulls you straight into the cold of deep space, where a suited astronaut — mouth open in a desperate cry — is ensnared by a massive, sinuous alien creature trailing vivid pink tentacles against a star-filled void. Marc Laming's cover art (pencils and inks) delivers a real sense of scale and dread, the coiling alien dominating the composition while a space station looms in the distant background. With the creative team of Ben Acker, Heath Corson, and Dan McDaid guiding the series in 2016, this second issue promises the kind of pulpy, interstellar peril that fans of classic adventure comics will find hard to put down.
