Grifter #3

Part of DC's New 52 initiative, Grifter #3 finds Cole Cash — red-masked, pistol in hand — squaring off against a massive, luminous alien entity that looms behind him in crackling blue energy. The tagline "The Game Now Is Revenge!" sets a charged tone for this 2012 issue, and the cover art by Cafu and Jason Gorder delivers a striking sense of scale, pitting one lone gunman against something vast and otherworldly. It's a compelling visual promise for "On-Ramp," written by Nathan Edmondson.
