Red Wolf #3

The third issue of Marvel's Red Wolf announces itself with striking visual confidence — cover artist Jeffrey Veregge renders a great patterned serpent coiled around a sheriff's star badge, its forked tongue flicking yellow against a deep crimson background, blending Indigenous artistic traditions with the visual language of the frontier West. The image sets a quietly ominous tone for this series, suggesting that the badge of law and the dangers surrounding it are never far apart. With Nathan Edmondson writing and Dalibor Talajić on interior art, this 2016 series continues to carve out its own compelling corner of the Marvel universe.
