Kirby: Genesis #7

Alex Ross's painted cover for Kirby: Genesis #7 is a breathtaking collision of characters — a fierce, wild-maned woman charges forward at center while a massive green-armored titan looms behind her, surrounded by warriors, winged creatures, and combatants locked in an all-out melee that fills every inch of the image with kinetic energy. It's a fitting visual for this Dynamite series, which brings together a sprawling cast of Jack Kirby's creations under one roof, written here by Kurt Busiek and Alex Ross with interior art by Jack Herbert. The sheer density of figures in battle promises that issue #7 delivers the kind of grand, mythic scale that defined Kirby's vision.
