Material #4

Ales Kot's thought-provoking Image series reaches its fourth chapter with a cover by Tom Muller that commands immediate attention — a snarling big cat rendered in halftone fills the frame, bisected by bold vertical red stripes that give the image an unsettling, almost propagandistic charge. Will Tempest's interior art brings the same raw intensity to "Chapter 4," with Clayton Cowles handling the lettering throughout. If you've been following Material, this penultimate installment looks like exactly the right moment to see where all the threads converge.
