Punisher: War Zone #3

The cover of this third chapter in Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon's six-part series delivers an instantly unsettling image: the face of Ma Gnucci — rendered with Dillon's unflinching, hyper-expressive linework — multiplied across the entire page in a crowd of scowling, dark-bobbed heads that grows from a single large visage down to tiny distant ones. It's a simple but deeply effective design that suggests something deeply wrong is proliferating. "The Resurrection of Ma Gnucci Part Three" promises exactly the kind of darkly comedic menace that made this Ennis/Dillon collaboration a Marvel Knights highlight of 2009.
