Daredevil: Yellow #1

Tim Sale's cover for this opening chapter sets a brooding, sepia-and-gold tone perfectly suited to Daredevil's Hell's Kitchen streets — a towering, mask-horned figure looms over the rooftops while two smaller figures walk the sidewalk below, unaware of the guardian presence above them. Jeph Loeb and Sale launch "The Championship Season" with that quiet tension between the ordinary world and the costumed one rendered in rich amber shadows. It's a striking first issue from a creative team clearly committed to something more reflective than your average superhero story.
