Magnus Robot Fighter #5

The cover of this 2014 Dynamite Entertainment issue pulls you straight into the tension — a massive, ghostly face dominates the background like a looming digital specter, while Magnus himself trades blows with a cluster of menacing robots in the foreground, debris flying in every direction. Gabriel Hardman's cover pencils and inks deliver a gritty, kinetic energy that perfectly captures the man-versus-machine premise at the heart of this Gold Key revival. Fred Van Lente and Cory Smith's fifth chapter looks to push Magnus into increasingly overwhelming odds.
