Greek Street #15

Peter Milligan's modern reimagining of Greek tragedy reaches issue #15 with a cover by Davide Furnò that pulls no punches — a wild-haired, clawed figure looms above a roaring, blood-soaked monstrous face rendered in visceral red and black, the whole composition crackling with an almost hallucinatory energy. The new arc, "Medea's Luck, Part One: Oh, Dionysius!", promises the series is moving into fresh mythological territory with Vertigo's signature mature-readers intensity. If you've been following Milligan and Davide Gianfelice's dark London underworld where ancient myth bleeds into gritty contemporary life, this is exactly the kind of unsettling image that reminds you why this series earns its suggested-for-mature-readers label.
