Masks 2 #2

Cullen Bunn and Eman Casallos bring together a striking ensemble of pulp heroes in this 2015 Dynamite series, and the cover by Butch Guice sets the mood perfectly — a pair of skeletal hands fans out a spread of playing cards, each one bearing the face of a different masked hero or villain, with a shadowy gunfighter rendered as the Joker card taking center stage. The imagery promises a dangerous game where these costumed figures are the stakes, and that eerie skeletal grip suggests someone — or something — holds power over them all. If you enjoy pulp-era team-ups steeped in moody atmosphere, this issue's cover alone makes a compelling case.
