Ashley Wood's cover for issue #9 of IDW's Konami-sanctioned Metal Gear Solid series is a masterclass in moody, painterly restraint — a heavily armed soldier crouches in the foreground, weapon raised, while the looming bulk of a military helicopter dominates the background in smudged monochromatic tones. Written by Kris Oprisko with art throughout by Ashley Wood, this May 2005 installment carries the same tactile, sketch-like energy that makes the series feel like a field journal from a covert operation. If you appreciate "tactical espionage action" rendered with genuine artistic personality, this is a compelling entry in the run.
