Common Foe #2

The cover of Common Foe #2, rendered by Esad Ribić, sets an immediately unsettling tone — a hulking, snarling creature crouches atop crumbling stone ramparts, looming over a small, vulnerable human figure below, while a ruined tower and a pale full moon hang in the murky, star-flecked night sky. That low-angle perspective makes the monster feel genuinely overwhelming, and the moody purples and blues give the whole scene a distinctly wartime-horror atmosphere. From the creative team of Giffen, Denton, and Dzialowski, this 2005 Image/Desperado series looks like it delivers its dark fantasy with real craft and conviction.
