The Mantle #3

From the creative team of Ed Brisson, Brian Level, and Jordan Boyd, this third issue of Image's The Mantle delivers a cover that immediately pulls you in two directions at once. Above, a muscular figure grapples with three companions mid-air against streaking light, while below, a lone figure stands with arms outstretched before a surging crowd of desperate, reaching hands. The split composition — bright kinetic action up top, an eerie mob scene below — signals that the stakes in this 2015 series are only escalating.
