The Biggest Bang

In the latest of our galleries celebrating the best covers of the year, we're looking at the best covers from IDW. IDW maintained its impressive and diverse line of licensed properties in 2016, from Ninja Turtles to Little Ponies, as well as ambitiously expanding and collating its Hasbro properties under the "Revolution" banner, and reviving and reinventing the Micronauts, M.A.S.K., and Rom.

The Bigger Bang was one of last year's most surprising comics; a soaring, cosmic space opera that pit a superhero born with the destruction of the previous universe against an intergalactic warlord and chicken sandwich magnate, it was equal parts satire, commentary, and pure adventure. Now DJ Kirkbride and Vassilis Gogtzilas are back with the sequel, which promises to be even bigger. The biggest, in fact. With The Biggest Bang hitting shelves today, ComicsAlliance spoke to Kirkbride about the process behind the book, the decision to give Wyan super-powers on par with Cosmos, and why a terrifying spider-monster's feelings are still valid.
