The Order #2

In "6: Milo or Heavy Metal," the second issue of The Order (2008), writer Matt Fraction and artist Barry Kitson continue to build a tense, grounded mystery as Mulholland reflects on her history with the Black Dahlias. Supernaut and Aralune push deeper into the desert, facing off against S.H.A.D.O.W. agents while waiting for reinforcements, while the rest of the team deals with a sudden, surreal threat in San Francisco—Namor rising from a wall of water that now encircles the city. The cover by Barry Kitson captures the series' moody intensity, with art by Kitson and inks by Mark Morales and Scott Koblish, colors by Jelena Kevic Djurdjevic and Chris Sotomayor, and lettering by ArtMonkeys Studios.
