Fire Power #16

Chris Samnee's cover for Fire Power #16 frames a tense rooftop scene bathed in deep blues and amber shadows — a dark-clad figure crouches on the edge of a slanted roof, peering down at two small figures illuminated in a pool of warm light below. The steep angle and dramatic lighting give the whole image a watchful, almost predatory weight, as though something is very much about to change for the people in that yard. Robert Kirkman and Samnee continue to demonstrate a real gift for grounding superhero tension in quiet suburban dread.
