Crossover #8

Four mismatched characters — a pale figure in a superhero costume, a young woman in a yellow trench coat, an anxious-looking young man in a blue sweater, and a confident woman in a colorful outfit — stand in a police lineup, each clutching a numbered placard, on this striking eighth issue of Donny Cates and Geoff Shaw's reality-bending Image series. The lineup composition, rendered with sharp, expressive linework by Shaw and warm, burnished colors from Dee Cunniffe, immediately raises questions about who's guilty, who's innocent, and just how blurry that line can get when comic book worlds collide with our own. A smart, visually arresting cover that captures the series' sly tension between the mundane and the extraordinary.
