The Vigil #4

Sumit Kumar's cover for The Vigil #4 layers its imagery with real purpose — a determined young woman throwing a powerful punch dominates the foreground, while a masked figure in red looms large above her and a sleek, silver-suited hero stands watch in the background, the whole composition drenched in an urgent crimson wash. That title, "The Check Hook," hints at the combative tension baked right into the scene. Part of DC's Dawn of DC initiative, this series from Ram V, Devmalya Pramanik, and colorist Rain Beredo continues to carve out its own compelling corner of the DC universe.
