Savior #4

Clayton Crain's cover for Savior #4 is a striking, painterly close-up of a man's face — his dark hair windswept against a deep crimson background, his piercing blue eyes radiating an unsettling, otherworldly calm. A translucent cross-shaped overlay bisects his features, lending the image a haunting, almost surgical quality that perfectly suits a series wrestling with questions of faith and power. With Todd McFarlane and Brian Holguin driving the story, this 2015 Image series continues to look like one of the more thoughtfully crafted offerings on the shelf.
