Noble Causes #15

Noble Causes #15 from Image Comics frames its "Sex, Secrets & Super-Powers" saga with a police lineup that perfectly captures the series' blend of superhero spectacle and soap-opera tension. Standing against the height-marked wall are four ordinary-looking men flanking a towering blue-skinned figure — smoking pipe and skull-adorned jacket and all — who grins with unsettling confidence while his companions look decidedly uncomfortable. Cover artist Gabe Bridwell brings real energy to this sardonic scene, making it hard not to wonder just how this unlikely group ended up on the wrong side of a one-way mirror.
