Red Skull: Incarnate #[nn]

A haunting propaganda-poster aesthetic dominates David Aja's cover, where a massive, leering skull billows up from a bombed cityscape as warplanes streak through a blood-red sky above a burning town. Aja's bold, graphic linework and restrained palette give the image a chilling retro-wartime feel that suits this 2012 Marvel collection perfectly. If you're drawn to atmospheric, design-forward comics art with genuine menace, this one earns a place on your shelf.
