Mars Attacks #7

This seventh issue of IDW's Mars Attacks arrives with a striking mosaic cover by John McCrea — a grid of unsettling vignettes featuring a leering Martian skull, a human silhouette caught in a blinding beam of light, menacing alien fauna, a city in flames, and the cold gleam of extraterrestrial weaponry. The fragmented composition gives the whole thing a trading-card energy that feels perfectly in tune with the property's pulpy roots. With John Layman scripting and McCrea and Andrew Elder bringing the chaos to life inside, this 2013 series continues to deliver gleeful sci-fi mayhem in style.
