Black Science #2

The cover of Black Science #2 sets a vivid tone for this 2013 Image series, with Matteo Scalera depicting two armored figures — one sporting an elaborate radial blade array crackling with pink energy, the other in sleek dark armor leveling a weapon — standing amid a smoke-choked, battle-scarred landscape, while a third figure lies defeated in the foreground. Rick Remender and Scalera are clearly building a dimension-hopping saga with serious visual ambition, and Dean White's moody, atmospheric colors make every detail of the chaos feel visceral and alive. If the opening issue caught your attention, this second chapter's cover promises the stakes are only climbing higher.
