The Wild Storm #3

Jon Davis-Hunt's cover for this third chapter of Warren Ellis's WildStorm revival is quietly riveting — a composed young woman in a Union Jack tee and leather jacket sits atop bullet-riddled wooden crates marked "CLASSIFIED," cigarette in one hand and pistol in the other, while a massive explosion billows behind her with almost casual indifference. Spent shell casings scattered at her feet and the smoldering chaos she refuses to acknowledge make for a striking portrait of cool under fire. Steve Buccellato's warm, fiery colors give the whole image a cinematic heat that makes this 2017 series feel like essential espionage fiction.
