John Byrne's Next Men #3

A blonde woman in a black dress stands before a dark, armored figure — her reflection staring back from within it with wide-eyed shock, while blood-red hands complete an unsettling tableau of doubled identity and dread. John Byrne's cover art for this 2011 IDW series captures that signature tension between the familiar and the deeply wrong. If you've been following Next Men, issue #3 makes clear the series has no intention of letting its characters — or readers — feel entirely safe.
