Madrox #3

Peter David's noir-tinged Marvel Knights miniseries reaches its third chapter with a cover by David Lloyd that perfectly captures Jamie Madrox's peculiar predicament — a bar packed wall-to-wall with the same man, every face a duplicate of the Multiple Man himself, drinking, chatting, and brooding in every corner. The overwhelmed bartender in the foreground, cloth over his shoulder and head in his hands, says everything about what it must be like to serve an entire crowd of identical customers. It's a wry, visually inventive image that sets the tone for "Dead Dirty Pool," with Pablo Raimondi, Andrew Hennessy, and Brian Reber handling the interior work alongside writer Peter David.
