Black Cloak #9

Black Cloak #9 from Image Comics finds Kelly Thompson and Meredith McClaren's noir-fantasy series in thrillingly atmospheric form. McClaren's cover places a cloaked, green-skinned figure crouching low against a rain-slicked urban backdrop of neon signs, tangled power lines, traffic lights, and storefront signage bathed in moody red and green light — equal parts stakeout tension and city-after-dark poetry. If you've been following this series, this 2024 issue looks ready to deliver more of the stylish, street-level intrigue that makes Black Cloak one of Image's most visually distinctive ongoing titles.
