The Forged #2

The second issue of Image's The Forged arrives with a cover by Mike Henderson that plunges you straight into the chaos — a hulking armored figure grapples with monstrous, floral-limbed alien creatures against a crackling purple void, while a luminous, cape-trailing figure blazes upward in a burst of electric light. The cover copy promises "savage combat on a merciless moon," "machinations of the Mind Witch," and "Crazy Jo disarmed," teasing a story that spans brutal frontline action and something far more psychologically unsettling. With Greg Rucka and Eric Trautmann writing and Nolan Woodard's vivid colors amplifying every collision, this sci-fi series is shaping up to be one of 2023's more compelling team-action books.
