Stormwatch: P.H.D. #10

Issue ten of Christos Gage and Andy Smith's Stormwatch: Post Human Division arrives in October 2007 with a cover by Mike McKone that immediately sets an uneasy mood. Seen from behind, a dark-jacketed figure sits at a bar, watching a tense scene reflected in the mirror before him — a broad, imposing man in a harness, a red-haired woman in a white top, and a uniformed police officer, all framed by an unsettling burst of flame between them. It's a quietly charged composition that hints at the series' street-level take on a world full of post-human complications.
