Robots vs. Princesses #3

The cover of this Dynamite Entertainment series says it all: a small, red-haired princess stands her ground before a towering armored robot lord whose chest blazes with an eerie blue light, an army of mechanical soldiers looming in the misty background behind him. The sheer scale contrast between the lone girl and this hulking mechanical giant makes for a genuinely striking image, with Nicolas Chapuis delivering rich, painterly color work that gives the confrontation real dramatic weight. Robots vs. Princesses #3 keeps the series' central tension front and center — and that glowing fist reaching toward our undaunted heroine suggests the stakes are only getting higher.
