Daken: Dark Wolverine #19

The cover of Daken: Dark Wolverine #19 sets a tense, cinematic tone — a hulking, silhouetted figure armed with two large rifles and draped in ammunition belts dominates the foreground, while a snarling shirtless man and a blonde woman aiming a handgun are caught in the space between those weapons. Cover pencils by Giuseppe Camuncoli give the composition a real sense of menace and scale, with the looming figure casting a shadow over the two fighters behind him. With Rob Williams writing the conclusion to the "Pride Comes..." arc, this 2012 issue promises a dramatic payoff to whatever powder keg has been building.
