Rorschach #11

Tom King, Jorge Fornés, and Dave Stewart's DC Black Label series reaches its penultimate chapter with this striking cover — a figure seen from behind, arms crossed and restrained in a straitjacket, the shifting black-and-white inkblot pattern of the Rorschach mask bleeding down their back like a living shadow. Looming behind them is a massive clock face with Roman numerals spattered in red, a haunting reminder that time in the Watchmen universe has always carried weight. Issue eleven of this mature-readers series promises the kind of quiet, unsettling tension that has defined Tom King and Jorge Fornés's collaboration throughout.
