Maskerade #2

The armored, mirror-faced figure at the center of this cover — bloodied and aiming a gun straight at the reader — makes for an immediate, unsettling focal point. All around him, a chaotic brawl erupts in what looks like a sun-drenched resort setting, with armed men closing in from every angle while another combatant goes airborne in the background. Kevin Smith and his collaborators Andy McElfresh, John Sprengelmeyer, Giulia Brusco, and Andrew Thomas bring a sharp, pulpy energy to this 2022 Dark Horse series that feels like action-thriller cinema translated panel by panel onto the page.
