Injection #10

Three figures move across a cold, moonlit landscape on this cover by Declan Shalvey — a bald man in a scarf carrying a shotgun over his shoulder leads the way, while two others follow at a cautious distance, a dimly lit manor house visible on the horizon behind them. The palette, rendered in deep blue-grey tones with Jordie Bellaire's restrained coloring, gives the scene a quiet, atmospheric dread that feels more like a rural ghost story than a superhero adventure. Warren Ellis and Shalvey's Injection has always excelled at this kind of understated tension, and issue ten looks to deliver more of the series' signature blend of the eerie and the cerebral.
