Metal Gear Solid #2

The cover of this 2018 Mana Books release sets an appropriately tense tone for Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, with Ashley Wood's moody, painterly artwork depicting a massive, hulking mech rendered in cool steel-blues and shadow, its single glowing orange eye cutting through the darkness with an eerie intensity. The loose, expressive brushwork gives the machine an almost organic menace, as a sleek weapon blade angles across the composition. With writing by Matt Fraction and cover art credited to both Alex Garner and Ashley Wood, this volume brings the beloved tactical espionage action world to the comics page in unmistakably striking fashion.
