Karnak #4

The fourth chapter of Warren Ellis's cerebral Inhuman series arrives with a cover by David Aja that's as thought-provoking as the character himself — an Escher-like arrangement of interlocking red and green hexagonal blocks, with small silhouetted figures walking, falling, and tumbling across their impossible geometry. It's a quietly brilliant visual metaphor for Karnak's singular gift: perceiving the flaw in all things, including perhaps the very structure of reality itself. Roland Boschi and Dan Brown bring that same sharp sensibility to the interior pages, making this 2016 series one of Marvel's more distinctive reads.
