Mars Attacks Judge Dredd #3

Issue three of this wild crossover delivers a cover that stops you cold: a Martian invader — exposed brain bulging beneath a cracked dome helmet, skeletal face twisted and grotesque — is caught mid-punch by Judge Dredd's armored green fist, shattering glass flying in every direction. Greg Staples renders the collision with visceral, painterly detail that makes the Martian's bug-eyed grimace genuinely unsettling. With Al Ewing writing and John McCrea on interior art, this 2013 IDW series continues to look like one of the more gleefully unhinged team-ups the Law of Mega-City One has ever been dragged into.
