Art Ops #10

Vertigo's Art Ops reaches its tenth issue with a cover by Michael Allred that's as visually playful as the series itself — two figures are caught mid-chaos in a subway station, one pinned and wide-eyed as wild, candy-colored tendrils of living paint coil around him, while a second man looks on with tense concern. A collage of pop-art faces lines the wall behind them, grounding the supernatural mayhem in a world where art and reality are dangerously intertwined. Shaun Simon, Matt Brundage, and Laura Allred bring "Popism, Part Three: Children" to life in this October 2016 chapter that makes subway commuting look genuinely dangerous.
