Secret Six #12

Gail Simone's Secret Six arrives at its twelfth issue with a cover that commands attention — a scarred, screaming face emerges from a churning darkness of red-tinged, silhouetted birds, tears streaming down cracked skin while the skull logo looms overhead. Dale Eaglesham's cover art strikes a raw, almost operatic note, balancing anguish and menace in equal measure. With "The Violence in Silence" as the story's title, this 2016 issue promises the kind of emotionally charged, morally complicated storytelling that makes this team such a compelling read.
