Order & Outrage #1

Dark Horse launches this four-part series from writer Jim Starlin and artist Rags Morales with a cover that pulls no punches: a masked, golden-eyed armored figure looms in the foreground while a towering blue ethereal being screams against a moonlit sky above, and below them a grand structure erupts in flames as frightened figures — including a woman clutching an infant — flee through the chaos. Morales's linework, colored by Hailey R. Brown, balances the intimate terror of those fleeing civilians against the sheer supernatural scale of the beings watching over them. If this opening image is any indication, Order & Outrage is setting up a collision between cosmic power and very human stakes.
