Skullkickers #26

Part two of "A Dozen Cousins and a Crumpled Crown" arrives with a cover that means business — an enormous stone-and-gold armored face looms across the entire image, its eyes burning an ominous red and eerie green energy flickering at its shoulders. The sheer scale and brooding menace of this towering figure sets a wonderfully ominous tone for Jim Zub, Edwin Huang, and Misty Coats's ongoing fantasy-action romp from Image Comics. If this 2014 arc's second chapter is anything like what the cover promises, readers are in for something delightfully dangerous.
