Mars Attacks #9

A young kid scrambles desperately across a wrecked machine, one hand outstretched, while two skull-headed Martian soldiers close in from behind — their flying saucers cutting through a bruised, crackling sky above a devastated landscape. A snarling dog bounds alongside, making this duo's survival odds feel genuinely precarious. John McCrea's cover work for this 2013 IDW series captures exactly the pulpy, high-stakes chaos that makes Mars Attacks such a blast.
