The Wild Storm #2

Warren Ellis and Jon Davis-Hunt's reinvention of the WildStorm universe hits its second chapter with a cover that sets a distinctly unsettling tone: a hooded, tactical-vest-clad figure wearing a vivid red alien-looking mask stands atop dumpsters in a grimy urban alleyway, scattered papers drifting through the dim air and a bloody handprint smeared across a nearby bin. Jon Davis-Hunt's linework, colored by Steve Buccellato, gives the scene a moody, grounded atmosphere — part spy thriller, part science-fiction strangeness — that feels genuinely fresh for 2017 DC. If the first issue drew you in, this cover makes a compelling case to keep reading.
