Evil Empire #4

The bold, graphic design of Jay Shaw's cover for Evil Empire #4 says everything without saying a word — a raised fist with two severed fingers set against a stark yellow field, twisting a classic peace sign into something far more unsettling. It's the kind of arresting visual shorthand that makes this 2014 Boom! Studios series feel as much like political art as sequential fiction. With Max Bemis writing and Andrea Mutti on art, this issue promises the same sharp, thought-provoking edge the series has delivered from the start.
