The Victories #8

Michael Avon Oeming's superhero series continues with this striking eighth issue from Dark Horse, where a masked hero stares out from the cover with a bold red X slashed across his face — a visual declaration that feels equal parts threat and challenge. Oeming's clean, angular art style gives the figure a quiet intensity, and the tagline "Wildly Unpredictable" from Bloody Disgusting only sharpens the sense that this series plays by its own rules. If you haven't been following The Victories, this 2014 issue makes a compelling case to start.
