Flavor #4

Joseph Keatinge and Wook Jin Clark's Flavor reaches its fourth issue with a cover that radiates tension — a cuffed, shield-bearing figure is brought before an imposing authority in military dress, surrounded by rows of armored guards carrying crests and weapons. Tamra Bonvillain's warm gradient palette gives the scene a ceremonial gravity that feels somewhere between a tribunal and a procession. It's a striking visual promise from this inventive Image series.
