The Black Hood #8

Chapter Eight of "The Lonely Crusade" arrives with a cover by Francesco Francavilla that perfectly captures the noir tension driving Dark Circle Comics' street-level crime series. The Black Hood looms menacingly against a blood-red backdrop, bearing down on a car whose silhouetted occupants seem unaware of the masked figure descending on them from above. Writer Duane Swierczynski and artist Robert Hack have built one of 2016's most compelling crime comics, and this brooding, shadow-drenched image promises the series hasn't lost any of its edge.
