The Nazz #4

The concluding chapter of DC's mature-readers miniseries arrives with a cover by Bryan Talbot that immediately commands attention — a blue-skinned, screaming figure adorned with an elaborate jeweled collar strains beneath a tangle of dark, root-like tendrils, while above it all a serene, luminous face gazes down from a fiery red sky. The contrast between that anguished lower figure and the calm, almost transcendent presence overhead gives the image a real sense of cosmic tension as Tom Veitch and Talbot bring "Nina's Book" to a close. It's a striking finish to a series that DC clearly aimed at readers ready for something weightier.
