Midnighter #2

The second issue of DC's 2015 solo series finds Midnighter in a striking combat-ready stance, dressed in his signature all-black gear against a bold red circle — while looming large behind him is a tattooed woman gripping what appears to be a massive creature or weapon, her presence suggesting a formidable threat on the horizon. ACO's cover art balances kinetic energy with an almost poster-like elegance, using Japanese-influenced design elements to give the whole image a sharp, international flavor. With Orlando, Morgan, and Fajardo Jr. shaping the series, this is a promising look at DC's most tactically ruthless hero navigating a world that seems eager to test him.
