Final Crisis Aftermath: Ink #3

Part of DC's 2009 Final Crisis Aftermath line, this third chapter of Ink delivers a striking cover by Brian Stelfreeze — a massive, tattoo-covered figure rendered in grayscale, with a vivid coiled rattlesnake and a set of dog tags standing out in sharp color contrast against the monochrome flesh. The visual tension between the inert, sketched body and that intensely alive serpent sets a quietly unsettling tone that feels perfectly matched to a story titled "Great Expectations." Eric Wallace and Fabrizio Fiorentino continue what's shaping up to be one of the more distinctive miniseries to emerge from DC's post-Final Crisis world.
