Bedlam #7

Frazer Irving's cover for Bedlam #7 is a quietly unsettling piece of work — a pale, eerily smiling man in casual clothes holds out a dripping necklace of small red skulls, while a dark masked figure looms behind his shoulder against a haze of smoky pink. The tagline "Is evil just something you are or something you do?" frames the whole image with exactly the kind of philosophical dread this Nick Spencer–written series trades in. If you've been following Ryan Browne's interiors, this chapter — "Our Little Conferences" — promises to keep the tension coiled tight.
