Anthem #3

Based on BioWare's acclaimed video game universe, this third chapter of Dark Horse's Anthem: Stronger Together brings the Freelancers' powered-armor world to vivid life. The cover — by Mac Walters, Alexander Freed, Eduardo Francisco, and Michael Atiyeh — puts a fallen Freelancer in orange-and-gold Javelin armor at the feet of a massive, glowing-eyed mechanical threat, its red-lit panels blazing as a spectral clawed hand looms nearby, the tension unmistakably desperate. It's a striking image that captures everything compelling about this 2019 series: humanity in heavy iron, outmatched but not yet out.
