Ratchet & Clank #4

Based on the hit PlayStation videogame and brought to comics by writer T.J. Fixman and artist Adam Archer, this fourth issue — "Thanks for the Armories" — arrives with a cover by CreatureBox that puts Ratchet front and center in a sleek high-tech cockpit, his armored gauntlets hovering over a glowing control interface. A shadowy figure looms in the foreground, adding just enough tension to the scene's cool sci-fi energy. It's a sharp, confident installment in WildStorm's 2011 adaptation that fans of the franchise will want to have on their shelf.
