Awesome Covers: Guarding the Globe #2


A monstrous and menacing octopus monster recieves a continual series of I AM A MAN punches from an entire team of superheroes. What's not to love?

In any other case, this cover looks great. All the heroes diving after Octoboss looks badass, and it's drawn brilliantly. This is the sort of thing that will make me pic up a comic book.

The Guarding the Globe miniseries is a spin-off from Invincible. Since the titular hero has recently left Earth to fight the Viltrumite Empire, the guys working behind the famous team Guardians of the Globe decide they need to start recruiting and expand the team into a Global operation (it ironically has focussed on America the past few years).

The series is cool, with Kirkman's trademark awesomeness and great artwork. I have to give him a hand, an Invincible film or cartoon is well deserved.

Though of course the series would be oddly violent for a superhero cartoon. Even though the Invincible series is mostly light hearted, the violence is pretty strong.
