The Colonized #2

From IDW's 2013 series pitting small-town survivalists against extraterrestrial invaders, The Colonized #2 drops readers into a frenetic collision of worlds — the cover by Dave Sim depicts a wild struggle between a rugged, gun-toting human and a skeletal, wide-eyed zombie figure locked in fierce combat, with an alien figure looming in the background amid eerie, foggy terrain. The banner headline "Aliens and Humans Versus…" sets up the chaotic three-way conflict at the heart of the series, and the gritty, kinetic linework makes the tension feel genuinely visceral. With Chris Ryall writing, Drew Moss on art, and Jay Fotos on colors, this is a pulpy, imaginative mashup that earns its wonderfully absurd story title.
