The Question: The Deaths of Vic Sage #3

The faceless, trench-coated figure of Vic Sage steps through a doorway beneath a "Private Investigation" sign, his lower half dissolving into swirling teal mist — a quietly unsettling image that speaks directly to this series' preoccupation with identity and mortality. Cover pencils by Denys Cowan and inks by Bill Sienkiewicz give the scene a loose, expressionistic energy that feels perfectly suited to DC Black Label's mature-readers imprint. With Jeff Lemire writing and Cowan and Sienkiewicz continuing their collaboration into Book Three, this 2020 series remains one of the more atmospheric takes on Hub City's most enigmatic detective.
