The Expatriate #3

Image Comics' espionage series The Expatriate reaches its third installment with a cover that puts you right in the thick of the tension — a wide-eyed figure stares up in alarm as a glowing syringe looms threateningly close, the cool blue-green lighting and radiating background lines giving the whole composition an unsettling, disorienting charge. Moore and Latour bring a stylish, slightly surreal edge to the cover that signals this is a thriller with real visual ambition. At $2.99, this 2005 Image title is a compelling entry in the series for fans of shadowy, high-stakes storytelling.
