Strange Adventures #6

The halfway point of Tom King's twelve-issue DC Black Label series arrives with a cover by Mitch Gerads that stops you cold — two skeletons, one draped in a golden cape and one wearing a military-style helmet, tumble through a blizzard of light against a towering industrial grid, their tattered gold fabric trailing behind them like the remnants of something heroic. The icy blue palette and translucent figures carry a weight that feels both haunting and strangely beautiful, perfectly in keeping with the mature, morally complex tone this series has built issue by issue. If "Strange Adventures" has been on your radar, this is a compelling moment to dive in.
