Nemesis Forever #2

Matteo Scalera's cover for Nemesis Forever #2 sets an immediate tone of hard-edged chaos: a bullet-riddled pickup truck with a shattered windshield anchors the scene, surrounded by armed figures in various states of tension — a bearded man with a pistol, a suited figure on a phone, a brawny bald man in a shoulder holster, and a wounded young woman slumped against the vehicle. Looming above them all, rendered in dark reds and purples, is a massive grinning skull-like face that makes the threat feel inescapable. Mark Millar and Scalera's collaboration at Dark Horse continues to look like exactly the kind of stylish, high-stakes mayhem fans of the original series have been waiting for.
