Suicide Squad: Kill Arkham Asylum #4

The penultimate chapter of this five-part series serving as the official prequel comic to Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League delivers a cover that's hard to look away from — a sharp-featured figure in a blue beanie clutches a large trident-like pitchfork while an unnerving swarm of monkeys climbs, clings, and stares from every angle against a swirling red-and-yellow psychedelic backdrop. Dan Panosian's cover art crackles with chaotic energy, the primates' wide, unsettling eyes giving the whole scene a deeply strange tension. With John Layman writing and Jesús Hervás on interior art, "Minds Over Matter" promises exactly the kind of deranged, high-stakes mayhem this miniseries has been building toward.
