Metal Gear Solid #8

IDW's Konami-licensed Metal Gear Solid #8 brings the "Tactical Espionage Action" subtitle to the comics page with real conviction, written by Kris Oprisko with artwork by Ashley Wood. Ashley Wood's painterly cover art dominates with a striking green-haired woman in a dark open coat, a rifle slung casually over her shoulder as her hair whips in an unseen wind — rendered in Wood's signature loose, atmospheric style against a moody blue-purple background. It's a confident, arresting image that captures the series' blend of danger and style perfectly.
