Mars Attacks Judge Dredd #4

The penultimate issue of this wild crossover brings Judge Dredd and a leering Martian invader face-to-face on a cover painted by Greg Staples — the two figures locked in an intense standoff, Dredd's helmeted profile grim and unyielding against the alien's skull-like grin and glowing red eyes. It's a striking image that captures the tension of law-versus-invasion perfectly. Inside, writer Al Ewing and artist John McCrea deliver the story with colorist Jay Fotos rounding out the team for this 2013 IDW series.
