Deathblow #4

Deathblow looms massive over a city skyline on this striking 2007 WildStorm cover by Carlos D'Anda — the operative's masked face dominates the composition in bold red and shadow, his cold, watchful eyes cutting through the darkness with quiet menace. Writer Brian Azzarello continues "And Then You Live! Part Four," keeping this gritty series firmly in the territory of noir-edged action. It's a confident, atmospheric package from a creative team clearly committed to making every issue feel like an event.
