Robocop #4

The cover of this BOOM! Studios issue says it all — a towering, ghoulish puppeteer with glowing red eyes looms over a lone RoboCop, strings of control binding the armored figure from above in an deeply unsettling tableau rendered by cover artist Goñi Montes. The stark contrast between the small, isolated cyborg and the enormous, grasping hands above him sets a tense, foreboding tone for "Dead or Alive Chapter Four." Joshua Williamson and Carlos Magno's 2014 series continues to dig into what it really means to be free when someone else may be pulling the strings.
