Strange Adventures #11

Penultimate chapter of Tom King's twelve-part DC Black Label series, Strange Adventures #11 arrives with a cover by Mitch Gerads that carries the weight of its title — "Another Job to Do." A lone figure in a white shirt stands over a chalk outline on the floor, drink in hand, the scene awash in golds, reds, and deep shadows that evoke both pulp noir and something far more unsettling. With the series heading into its final stretch, this issue's deliberately understated cover image speaks volumes about the moral complexity King and his collaborators have been building all along.
