NYC Mech: Beta Love #3

The cover of NYC Mech: Beta Love #3 pulls you in immediately with a massive, intricately detailed robotic face dominating the frame — its goggle-like eyes each displaying the ghostly visage of a different mechanized figure, hinting at the layered, character-driven world Ivan Brandon and Miles Gunter have built. Andy Macdonald's linework is dense and confident, packing the image with tubing, rivets, and mechanical anatomy that rewards a second look. An Ain't It Cool News pull quote on the cover sums it up well: this creative team was clearly operating on a different level.
