The Unexpected #8

Part of DC's "New Age of Heroes" initiative tied to Dark Nights: Metal, The Unexpected #8 brings readers to "The Resurrection Pact!" with a cover by Yannick Paquette that commands immediate attention — a towering, horned figure with a glowing third eye and crackling lightning looms over a struggling, fanged creature caught in its clawed grip. The composition radiates menace and supernatural power, framed in fiery reds and electric purples that make the whole thing feel genuinely unsettling. Writer Steve Orlando and artist Ronan Cliquet, with colors by Jeromy Cox, continue "The Real Fight" in what looks to be one of the series' most intense chapters yet.
