The Cape: Fallen #2

Jason Ciaramella and Zach Howard's supernatural series rolls on with this second chapter of "Fallen," and the cover makes a strong case for the wild ensemble at the heart of the story. A blue-caped figure floats above the fray with arms crossed, while below him a wild-haired axe-wielder, a sword-brandishing warrior woman, a mysterious gothic figure in black, a makeshift cardboard-armored character, and a bespectacled man strike ready poses against a murky golden backdrop. Howard's linework gives the whole group a scrappy, volatile energy that promises the series isn't about heroes in the traditional sense.
