Faker #4

Faker #4 arrives at the midpoint of Mike Carey's six-part Vertigo series, with a cover by Jock that is quietly unsettling in the best way. A lone, glowing blue figure stands at the convergence point of a vivid multicolored streak — pink, yellow, green — while dozens of anonymous black silhouettes mill around it in every direction, their long shadows stretching across a stark white ground. That single luminous form surrounded by an indifferent, faceless crowd says everything about the series' themes of identity and otherness without giving a single plot point away.
