Comeback #2

The cover of Comeback #2 sets an immediately unsettling tone: a teal-rendered human head is dissected by overlapping translucent color bars — salmon, yellow, and lavender — each revealing a different layer beneath the skin, from exposed brain tissue to a bare eye socket to the underlying skull. It's a striking design choice from Michael Walsh and Jordie Bellaire that makes the series' 2012 Shadowline/Image release feel as cerebral as it does visceral. Ed Brisson, Walsh, and Bellaire make a compelling creative team, and this issue promises the kind of smart, unsettling storytelling that this cover so confidently announces.
