Mech Destroyer #3

Issue three of Image's Mech Destroyer arrives with a cover that makes an immediate impression: a dreadlocked warrior in an open orange jacket stands amid scattered shell casings, cradling a massive belt-fed machine gun with a glowing muzzle — cool confidence radiating from every line. Jae Kim's pencils and inks bring a kinetic energy to the scene, with teal-tinged mechanical structures looming in the background and spent brass catching the light in the foreground. Robert Chong and Joey Kim's story, "Mech Destroyer Part 3," promises the kind of high-stakes sci-fi action this striking 2001 cover so boldly suggests.
