Mayday #2

The second chapter of Alex de Campi and Tony Parker's Cold War thriller arrives with a cover that pulls you in like a fishbowl lens — two figures caught in a tense, close-quarters struggle, reflected in warm amber and deep violet tones that give the whole scene an unsettling, distorted intimacy. One figure levels what appears to be a gun while the other recoils below, the circular framing making it feel like you're peering through a surveillance lens or a spy's peephole. Colorist Blond's rich, bruised palette of orange, red, and purple splatters gives this 2016 Image series a distinctly moody, espionage-soaked atmosphere that sets the stakes high for whatever follows inside.
