Outlaw Nation #12

Vertigo's Outlaw Nation reaches its twelfth issue with a Glenn Fabry cover that practically radiates dread — a towering, green-skinned demon dominates the composition, clawed hand cradling a glowing orb, while a lone man in a jacket stands his ground before the looming threat, surrounded by a wall of television screens flickering with strange and unsettling imagery. The story is titled "Temptation," and with visuals like these from the team of Jamie Delano, Goran Parlov, and Goran Sudžuka, it's easy to see why this mature-readers series earned its Vertigo home. A genuinely striking package for fans of dark, ambitious comics from 2001.
