Renato Jones, Season Two: Freelancer #3

This third chapter of Renato Jones: Freelancer Season 2 makes a striking visual statement with a cover that is almost entirely consumed by black, save for two stark white rectangular eye-slits that stare out from the darkness — minimal, unsettling, and completely deliberate. The Joe Shuster and Ringo Award nominee badges speak to the recognition this series has already earned, and creator Kaare Kyle Andrews — who wrote, drew, colored, and owns every inch of this book — brings that same uncompromising artistic vision right to the cover. If you're following this 2017 Image Comics series, this issue's haunting simplicity alone signals that things are about to get intense.
