Deadshot & les Secret Six #4

This French Urban Comics collection — Deadshot & les Secret Six, Tome 4: "La Rage de Vaincre" — brings together the work of Gail Simone, Keith Giffen, and Jim Calafiore in one satisfyingly dark volume. The cover, a grim and photorealistic painting, shows a battered, blood-spattered figure in a tan cowl and cape seated against a blood-streaked brick wall, cradling a small white mouse in one gloved hand — equal parts menacing and unexpectedly poignant. It's the kind of unsettling image that perfectly captures the morally complicated world DC's most dangerous antiheroes inhabit.
