Anima #1

DC's 1994 series Anima launches with a striking first issue, and Malcolm Davis's cover sets an appropriately intense tone: a wild-haired young woman strains against glowing, otherworldly chains while a massive luminous fist looms over her, all framed by a swirling, unsettling red and checkered background. The tension between her defiant expression and the supernatural force bearing down on her immediately signals something raw and unconventional at the heart of this series. With writers Elizabeth Hand and Paul Witcover alongside artist Malcolm Davis and inker Chris Ivy, "Snapshots" promises a fresh, edgy voice in the DC universe of 1994.
