The Twelve #4

The Laughing Mask takes center stage on this striking Kaare Andrews cover, the golden-masked, red-suited figure firing twin automatics while a terrified young woman recoils beside him against a brick wall — every bit the pulp-era "Gangland's Nemesis" the cover copy promises. J. Michael Straczynski and Chris Weston's twelve-issue limited series continues to mine the rich legacy of Marvel's Golden Age heroes, and issue four carries that retro-thriller atmosphere with real conviction. If the previous chapters have you invested, this one's cover alone makes a compelling case to keep reading.
