The Names #1

The Names #1 opens Vertigo's 2014 eight-part series from writer Peter Milligan and artist Leandro Fernández with a cover by Celia Calle that immediately signals something sleek and unsettling. A stylishly dressed woman is seen from behind, her figure overlaid with cascading strings of code, mathematical equations, and financial data — while a tiny falling figure tumbles in the mid-ground below her, dwarfed by the sheer scale of numbers surrounding them both. It's a striking visual introduction to "The High Window Part 1," promising a thriller where information is power and someone, somewhere, is already in freefall.
