Non-Humans #4

The cover of this 2013 Image Comics issue delivers an immediately striking image: a massive human hand looms downward toward a small but defiant armored figure — purple-helmeted, silver-gauntleted, and staring back with an unsettling purple gaze. The sheer scale difference between the two makes for a quietly menacing composition against a dark brick wall backdrop. With Brunswick and Portacio driving this series, Non-Humans #4 wraps up its first arc with the kind of tension that makes you want to turn the page immediately.
