Against a bold orange sky, a armored figure strides urgently across a stark diagonal slope, while a fallen enemy — masked and sprawled — lies at the edge behind him, weapons scattered nearby. This 2015 Dark Horse series launch, written and illustrated by Rafael Albuquerque with Mike Johnson, carries the intriguing subtitle Outcast and promises a world of sharp contrasts and high tension. With cover art also by Albuquerque, the visual style alone makes a strong case for picking this one up.
