Agent 47: Birth of the Hitman #4

Dynamite's Agent 47: Birth of the Hitman #4 continues this 2018 series with a cover by Jonathan Lau that puts the cold-eyed assassin front and center — bald, black-suited, red tie — one gloved fist raised as he draws a gleaming garrote wire taut across the frame. The composition is quietly menacing, with that single glint of light on the wire doing more dramatic work than a dozen explosions could. Fans of the Hitman universe will find this a fittingly tense chapter cover for a series digging into the origins of gaming's most methodical killer.
