The Counselor #3

This third and final issue of The Counselor closes out the TheNextArt Verlag series with a cover that layers tension beautifully — a masked figure in street clothes clutches a red folder and messenger bag at center, while ghostly background portraits of suited and weathered men loom behind him, hinting at a world of shadowy players. A small inset at lower right depicts a figure with a sniper rifle, adding one more charged element to the composition. Thomas Leopold (credited as Tomppa) handles art, inks, and colors throughout, giving the 2016 series a cohesive, moody visual identity right through to its conclusion.
