Trio #4

John Byrne's Trio reaches its fourth issue with a cover that puts the team in serious peril — a massive, skull-helmeted villain in a green cape looms over a rubble-strewn battlefield, his enormous hands reaching toward three heroes scrambling below: a rocky, stone-bodied figure, a young woman with purple hair, and a black-and-white suited hero unleashing ribbons of white energy. The sense of scale and menace Byrne brings to this cover is palpable, with the towering antagonist dominating the composition in a way that feels genuinely threatening. "This Ancient Evil" promises exactly what the title suggests, and this IDW series continues to show Byrne firing on all cylinders as both storyteller and artist.
