A Beautiful Gory Display — Kickstart Comics

If you’ve read as many comics as I have, you’ll go into Bad Guys thinking you know where it’s going, but nothing plays out quite like you’d expect.  The villains aren’t the sketchy but reasonable types – several of the characters don’t really care whether or not Earth survives.  It takes some convincing to get them on board with the plan.  And the invaders aren’t freakish horrors from another planet.  They’re human beings from another dimension’s Earth.  They’re callous businessmen, traversing reality to drain parallel Earths of their resources.  Somehow, that’s creepier.  Their leader has an excellent scene where he tells a delegation of Earth’s leaders just how insignificant they are.  “You are not special.  Not you, not your kids, not your country, not your planet.  I can kill you, and there’s 800,000 more of you.”
