Williams III—whose pencils and inks define the issue’s bold visuals, enhanced by Dave Stewart’s evocative colors and Todd Klein’s precise lettering—this gripping installment delivers a tense, atmospheric clash of wills. The cover, a collaborative effort by J. H. Williams III and Cully Hamner, captures the intensity of the moment with striking detail.
