Project Monarch #[nn]

A helmeted, dual-pistol-wielding figure crouches in a dynamic red-and-blue composition while a swarm of monarch butterflies and an ominous masked face loom overhead — Victor Santos's cover design immediately signals that this is something stylishly off-kilter. Michael Avon Oeming and Victor Santos team up for this 2023 Dark Horse release that blends spy-thriller energy with conspiracy-tinged surrealism. At $19.99, it's a substantial package that wears its pulpy, paranoid sensibilities with real visual flair.
