The Cape: 1969 #3

The Cape: 1969 #3 brings the wartime horror of IDW's Vietnam-era series to a fever pitch, with cover art by Zach Howard placing a grim-faced soldier at the center of a hellish explosion, skulls and bones scattered across the foreground as black smoke and orange fire erupt around him. The soldier's fist-forward charge out of the carnage gives the image a raw, desperate momentum that perfectly captures the brutal tone of this 2012 series. With Jason Ciaramella writing and Nelson Dániel handling the interior art in its entirety, this penultimate chapter of the miniseries promises the same unflinching intensity blazing across its cover.
