Scalped #14

Vertigo's gritty reservation crime saga Scalped reaches its fourteenth issue with a cover by Jock that radiates cold dread — a shirtless figure looms upright in what appears to be a stark institutional space, while a battered, motionless face occupies the foreground in unsettling close-up. The stark blue-grey palette and brutal composition perfectly capture the tone Jason Aaron and R. M. Guéra have built into this series, making "Dead Mothers - Part Two" feel both urgent and deeply uneasy.
