Green Hornet: Blood Ties #4

Spinning out of Kevin Smith's Green Hornet, this 2011 Dynamite mini-series reaches its fourth and final chapter with a cover that perfectly captures the brooding mood of the title. The Green Hornet stands with his back to us atop a rain-slicked urban rooftop, his dark coat and mask silhouetted against a sprawling cityscape of shadowy buildings — a lone figure surveying the city he's sworn to protect. Johnny Desjardins delivers moody, atmospheric linework that makes the "Blood Ties" storyline feel every bit as tense and personal as that title promises.
