Dead Drop #[nn]

A figure in a striking orange-and-black suit plunges spread-eagle over a bird's-eye-view cityscape on Raúl Allén's bold, graphic cover — the perfect visual hook for this 2015 Valiant miniseries. Taglines promise a virus on the loose, a king in pursuit, and a world where things are definitely not what they seem. With Aleš Kot writing and Adam Gorham on art, Dead Drop looks like one of the sharper espionage thrillers Valiant had to offer that year.
