High Level #3

Two riders speed through a vast, dystopian corridor on a sleek red vehicle, graffiti warning "BORDERS ARE DEATH" scrawled across the crumbling walls beside them — Otto Schmidt's cover sets the tone perfectly for "Chapter 3: The Outlands." DC's Vertigo imprint gives this post-apocalyptic world a cinematic sweep, with a blazing orange horizon opening up ahead of our travelers like both a promise and a threat. Rob Sheridan and Barnaby Bagenda's High Level is earning its Mature Readers label with confident, atmospheric storytelling that feels right at home in the best tradition of Vertigo's boundary-pushing sci-fi.
