Manhunter #4

Kate Spencer leans into the fourth issue of this DC series with cool, coiled confidence — cigarette dangling from her lips, a heavy firearm gripped in one hand and a spiked weapon in the other, her red-and-silver Manhunter suit glowing against a smoldering amber backdrop. The "Lock & Load!" tagline says everything about the attitude Jae Lee captures on this striking cover. With Andreyko, Saiz, and Palmiotti driving the interior of "Secret Identities," this January 2005 issue promises a series firing on all cylinders.
