The Unwanted #[nn]

A blood-smeared King of Hearts playing card rests on a dark surface beneath the bold title A Game of Solitaire, setting a mood that's equal parts noir thriller and quiet menace. The stark red, black, and white graphic pattern above — bold floral and fish-scale shapes — gives the cover a striking, almost tribal elegance that contrasts beautifully with the gritty realism below. C. Scott Marcano's 2008 release from Diablo Comics promises something darker than your average hand of cards.
