From the very cover, it’s clear that Bruno Redondo, alongside Caio Filipe and Adriano Lucas, has crafted a visually stunning issue. The artwork captures the intensity of the narrative, with a vibrant palette dominated by reds and ambers, heightening the drama. The close-up shots of characters’ scars and their complex expressions add a layer of emotional depth, making their struggles more palpable.
Particularly noteworthy are the rain-soaked scenes, which are both visually striking and thematically resonant. Adriano Lucas’s colors shine in these moments, with the hallucination sequences standing out for their surreal and vivid imagery. Wes Abbott’s lettering enhances the dynamic action sequences, with the integration of onomatopoeia adding a visceral punch to the reading experience. The creative team’s synergy is evident, making the visuals and text complement each other perfectly.
