Ratchet & Clank #2

Based on the hit PlayStation videogame and published by WildStorm/DC in 2010, this second issue drops Ratchet right into the thick of it — the cover by CreatureBox shows the Lombax hero straining under the crushing grip of a massive, menacing robot, its mechanical limbs coiling around him against a fiery orange backdrop. Writer T. J. Fixman and artist Adam Archer bring these beloved characters to the page with real energy, and with a story titled "Friends with Benefits," there's clearly more to this partnership than meets the eye.
