Butterfly #2

The second chapter of this taut four-issue spy series from Archaia finds our blonde protagonist stepping forward through a wintry landscape, pistol in hand, her expression steely and unreadable beneath a sky patrolled by surveillance drones. Writer Marguerite Bennett and artist Antonio Fuso craft a cover that balances quiet menace with real urgency — bare branches creeping in from the edges, a snow-dusted wilderness pressing in around a woman who clearly knows how to handle herself. If this 2014 series is on your radar, issue two promises the tension is only escalating.
