Savage Dragon #178

Against a blazing red sky, a massive, fang-filled black creature lunges toward a lone human figure on a chaotic urban street, while tentacled alien forms swarm overhead and shadowy figures crowd the background — it's a cover that earns the story title "Invasion" without a single word of explanation needed. Erik Larsen and Frank Fosco collaborate on the pencils and inks to deliver a scene that feels genuinely overwhelming in scale, with the city itself seeming to buckle under the weight of the threat. Celebrating Image Comics' 20th anniversary in 2012, this issue of Savage Dragon looks like exactly the kind of all-out chaos fans of the series show up for.
