The Fuse #13

The Fuse #13 kicks off the "Perihelion" arc with a cover that sets an immediately unsettling tone — a lone white-haired figure in a dark jacket stands amid a scene of downed bodies, holding what appears to be a bottle, surveying the aftermath with eerie calm. The stark black-and-white rendering against a bold red sun makes the image hit with quiet intensity, the kind of sci-fi crime atmosphere this Image series does so well. Johnston, Greenwood, Chankhamma, and Ferrier deliver a part-one opener that promises the orbital station noir at its most gripping.
