Red Hood: The Hill #3

The tagline says it all — "Between a Croc… and a Hard Place" — as this third chapter of The Hill puts its characters squarely in danger's path. Sanford Greene's cover composition layers a looming Killer Croc and a stern, bespectacled man in the background above a young woman caught in the middle, while Red Hood and a blue-masked ally brace for confrontation in the rain-slicked foreground. Martinbrough, Akins, and Herms bring Gotham's neighborhood streets to vivid life in this Dawn of DC series that keeps raising the stakes with every issue.
