U.S.Agent #3

The bold declaration "I AM JUSTICE" dominates this cover in massive red-and-white block lettering — splattered with blood and looming over a shattered U.S.Agent shield lying in pieces on the ground — while John Walker's intense face peers from a star in the upper left, a purple-haired woman appears in another star below, and an armored antagonist lurks in the shadows to the right. Marco Checchetto's design is striking in its controlled chaos, using a red, white, and blue American-flag aesthetic to frame a story that's clearly wrestling with some thorny ideas about heroism and authority. Writer Priest and artist Georges Jeanty continue "American Zealot" into its third chapter, "Election Day," and this cover alone signals that Walker's brand of justice is anything but simple.
