The Divided States of Hysteria #6

Howard Chaykin's provocative political series reaches its sixth issue with a cover that feels like a fever dream of modern anxieties — a somber male figure looms in the lower left while a swarm of military drones fills the darkened sky above a distant, fiery explosion amid a treeline. Chaykin's cover work here pairs stark linework with Wil Quintana's atmospheric coloring to striking effect, blending an almost painted quality with the series' pointed, unsettling tone. If you've been following this 2017 Image series, issue six promises the kind of sharp, uncomfortable storytelling the title has delivered from the start.
