Dawn of the Planet of the Apes #4

Two hooded figures pick their way through a vast, crumbling cityscape on Christopher Mitten's haunting cover for this fourth chapter of BOOM! Studios' six-part series — the cool blue-and-pink palette lending the ruins an eerie, almost frozen atmosphere. Michael Moreci's story, brought to life by artist Dan McDaid and colorist Jason Wordie, continues to explore the precarious world teetering between human survival and ape ascendancy. If the desolate grandeur of this cover is any indication, issue four is keeping the tension wound tight right through the miniseries' second half.
