Bedlam #4

Bedlam #4 poses its unsettling central question — "Is evil just something you are or something you do?" — right on the cover, and Frazer Irving's artwork makes it linger. A cloaked, featureless figure stands alone at the center of a circle of empty, blood-stained chairs, bathed in muted grays with only faint pink light bleeding through distant doorways. Nick Spencer's psychological noir series, illustrated inside by Riley Rossmo, has rarely felt more quietly menacing than this.
