Elephantmen #24

Elephantmen #24 kicks off the seven-part "Questionable Things" arc with a cover that pulls no punches — a massive, armored hippo-hybrid figure, drenched in blood and hunched in an unsettling stillness against a stark white backdrop scattered with crimson splatter. The image carries a quiet, heavy menace that's become a hallmark of this series' unflinching approach to its world of genetically engineered soldiers. From Starkings, Moritat, and Cook, this 2010 Image title continues to blend science fiction and noir atmosphere in ways few books dare to attempt.
