Peter Cannon: Thunderbolt #2

A masked, black-clad figure lunges aggressively at a white-haired man — Peter Cannon himself — who holds his ground with a weapon in hand, all set against a dizzying urban backdrop filled with panels that hint at the broader world these characters inhabit. Alex Ross's painted cover work gives the scene a cinematic tension that suits a hero defined by discipline and supreme mental control. "The Grand Illusion" story title adds an extra layer of intrigue to this 2012 Dynamite series.
