Vanguard: Strange Visitors #3

Vanguard: Strange Visitors #3 delivers a cover packed with raw, kinetic energy — a caped hero trades blows mid-air while a massive rock-skinned bruiser dominates the foreground, and an antlered, blue-suited combatant surges forward through a chaotic, fiery brawl swarming with armored opponents. Penciled by Scot Eaton and inked by Erik Larsen, the image captures the kind of larger-than-life clash that made 1996 Image Comics such an exciting corner of the industry. Gary Carlson and Scot Eaton's series continues to make a strong case for Vanguard as one of Image's more compelling cosmic adventure books.
