The Massive #28

Part four of the "Ragnarok" arc finds the crew of their vessel navigating an ominous, looming cliff face as seabirds scatter across a steel-grey sky — the cover by J. P. Leon capturing the sheer scale of the natural world pressing down on these small human figures. On deck, one crew member raises a rifle toward the water while others take in the foreboding scene, the tension between humanity and a hostile environment made palpable. Brian Wood, Garry Brown, and Jordie Bellaire's The Massive continues to be one of Dark Horse's most visually striking and thematically rich series of 2014.
