Canary #2

From Scott Snyder and Dan Panosian, Canary #2 delivers a cover that commands attention: a close-up of a masked, hat-wearing figure whose piercing eyes stare out from above a pale disguise, rendered against a cracked, rust-gold background that gives the whole image a weathered, noir-Western atmosphere. Panosian's work here is confident and moody, using sharp angles and a restrained color palette of blues, grays, and amber to make this mysterious character feel genuinely dangerous. If issue #1 hooked you on this Dark Horse series, the brooding intensity of this cover promises the story is only getting deeper.
