Prototype #2

Wildstorm's tie-in to Activision's multi-platform video game delivers its second issue with a cover by Darick Robertson and Matt Jacobs that immediately commands attention — a hooded figure stands dominant over a pile of grotesque, defeated bodies, one arm morphed into a massive biomechanical blade while a military vehicle's headlights blaze through the smoke-choked city street behind him. The composition captures the brooding, dangerous atmosphere of the source material perfectly, with the urban decay and chaos radiating outward from that single, unnervingly calm central figure. Writers Justin Gray and Jimmy Palmiotti continue their adaptation for mature readers, making this 2009 WildStorm series a compelling companion to the game.
