Taskmaster #2

Taskmaster cuts a menacing figure on this 2002 Marvel cover, looming over a neon-drenched Asian cityscape with gun drawn and his signature skull mask glowing against the moody urban backdrop. Flanking him is a young woman in a pink skirt who looks ready for trouble of her own, while shadowy figures lurk in the background among the glittering street signs. It's a slick, atmospheric setup for "Patched Wounds" — the second chapter of this four-issue series brought to life by the Udon art team.
