Material #2

Ales Kot's Material continues with this striking second chapter from Image Comics, its cover by Tom Muller delivering an immediate visual punch — a distorted American flag rendered in stark red and black, its stars fragmented and its stripes rippling like something under pressure. The design work is bold and deliberately unsettling, the kind of cover that communicates a political temperature without saying a word. A sharp, thought-provoking entry in one of 2015's more ambitious series.
