Black Cloak #4

Kelly Thompson and Meredith McClaren's noir-fantasy series keeps building momentum with this fourth issue from Image Comics. The cover, rendered by McClaren, pulls us into what looks like a tense investigation scene — a suited figure viewed from behind consults what appears to be a case file, while two fantastical, pointy-eared characters lean across a counter surrounded by a web of pinned photos and connected documents, with a portrait of a dark-haired woman prominently highlighted at the center of it all. It's a striking composition that captures the series' blend of procedural intrigue and otherworldly characters in McClaren's distinctively warm, stylized palette.
