Black Magick #4

Greg Rucka and Nicola Scott's Black Magick continues its "Awakening" arc with this striking fourth issue from Image. Nicola Scott's cover renders the series' lead in moody graphite tones, her steady gaze fixed forward as she aims a handgun directly at the viewer — the swirling, rippling energy surrounding her hinting at forces that go well beyond ordinary police work. A lit candle and a potion bottle perch at the edge of a ceremonial circle behind her, quietly underscoring the dual worlds she navigates.
