Tech Jacket #6

The final issue of Robert Kirkman, E.J. Su, and Ron Riley's run arrives with a striking cover: Tech Jacket stands battle-ready in his sleek grey-and-teal alien armor, clutching what appears to be a defeated creature in one hand while fires rage across a war-torn landscape behind him. The scene — flames reflecting off a nearby body of water, smoke billowing into a dramatic sky — perfectly captures the scale of conflict this series has embraced. A satisfying close to one of Image Comics' more inventive sci-fi adventures of 2003.
