Huck #6

The finale of Mark Millar and Rafael Albuquerque's opening arc arrives with a cover that speaks volumes without showing Huck's face — the massive, broad-shouldered hero stands with his back to us, his familiar jacket bearing the winged number 78 emblem, bathed in swirling crimson and white light that suggests something momentous is at hand. Albuquerque's painterly composition turns a simple silhouette into a quietly powerful statement, all muscle and earned dignity. A satisfying capstone to one of Image's more heartfelt superhero series of 2016.
