The Kamandi Challenge #5

The rotating-creator experiment that is The Kamandi Challenge reaches its fifth chapter, and this lush jungle cover by Gary Frank sets a tense, survivalist mood — a battered, determined Kamandi is half-dragged, half-guided through dense tropical undergrowth by an upright, green-eyed tiger in a jacket, the two figures caught mid-flight against a backdrop of ferns, twisted roots, and a trickling stream. Inside, Bill Willingham scripts "Sub Tropical Thunder" with art by Ivan Reis, inked by Oclair Albert and colored by Marcelo Maiolo, a creative lineup that promises both dramatic storytelling and vivid visuals. The cover's own tagline — "Can YOU solve it before they do?" — reminds readers that this twelve-part relay race of a series is as much a puzzle as an adventure.
