Black Cloak #7

Kelly Thompson and Meredith McClaren's Black Cloak reaches its seventh issue with a cover that crackles with tension — a hooded figure in the foreground faces a crowd, while a large, ghostly image of a determined woman looms overhead, a targeting reticle in hand, all beneath the graffiti-styled accusation "MURDERER." McClaren's warm amber palette and flowing Art Nouveau-inflected linework give the scene a haunting, dreamlike quality that sets the mood perfectly for this 2024 Image series.
