Hunter: The Age of Magic #15

Dylan Horrocks's Hunter: The Age of Magic reaches issue #15 with a cover by Jon Foster that captures the series' raw, grounded energy — a lone figure swings a baton into a mass of shaven-headed assailants in dark suits, blood spattering the wall behind them in a scene that feels more street-level brawl than supernatural spectacle. The painterly, almost classical rendering of the chaos gives the whole image a striking weight that stands apart from typical 2002 Vertigo covers. With Richard Case on interior art and the story titled "Love & Death," this issue promises the kind of sharp, mature storytelling that has defined this underappreciated series.
