Huck #5

Mark Millar and Rafael Albuquerque's Huck reaches its fifth chapter with a cover that immediately sets an ominous tone — a bald, goggles-wearing figure rendered in stark gold against a blood-red background raises a long, thin implement with an unsettling air of authority. Albuquerque's cover art strips the composition down to pure mood, letting that upward-pointing gesture and those glowing goggle lenses do all the work. If this series has had you hooked, this issue's cover promises the tension is only deepening.
