Objective Five #6

This Image espionage series heads to China for issue six, and the cover by Luke Lizalde and Danny Miki sets a quietly unnerving tone — a woman in a bloodstained dress stands with her back to us, facing a battered red door plastered with a portrait poster, while a crumpled figure lies motionless on the stone floor at her feet. The mood is tense and cinematic, the ornate doorframe and muted palette giving the scene a distinctly atmospheric, Cold War-tinged weight that fits the "Digging in China" story title perfectly. Fans of grounded, espionage-flavored comics will find this 2001 installment a compelling chapter in the run.
