Jupiter's Circle #3

Five costumed heroes stand united against a purple backdrop in Frank Quitely's striking cover for this 2015 Image series from Mark Millar — their retro-styled uniforms and composed, guarded stances radiating both confidence and unease. Looming behind them are two enlarged, sketched faces: one marked with a sniper's crosshair, the other contorted in a scream, lending the image a palpable sense of threat surrounding the team. It's a wonderfully tense composition that sets a compelling Cold War-era tone for Jupiter's Circle Vol. 2.
