Sixpack and Dogwelder: Hard Travelin' Heroz #3

The third chapter of Garth Ennis and Russ Braun's six-issue DC miniseries finds Sixpack — the barrel-chested, "Six-Pac"-emblazoned hero — and a figure wielding an arc-welding torch backed into a defensive stance before a ring of menacing, bandaged mummies, with the pyramids looming ominously in the background. Steve Dillon's cover crackles with absurdist energy, balancing genuine tension against the wonderfully ridiculous sight of these two unlikely champions facing down ancient undead on the steps of Egypt. If you've been following the "Hard-Travelin' Heroz" arc, issue #3 promises that the road trip has taken a decidedly mythological turn.
