The Human Target #7

Tom King and Greg Smallwood's noir-tinged DC Black Label series continues with this seventh chapter, and the cover alone sets an unsettling mood: a woman in a loose green dress steps through parted curtains while vivid yellow-green flames lick at her bare feet, her expression caught somewhere between calm and dread. Smallwood's warm amber-and-gold palette makes the fire feel almost dreamlike, which somehow intensifies rather than softens the danger. It's a quietly arresting image that captures exactly the kind of slow-burn tension this series does so well.
