Aeon Flux #2

The second chapter of Dark Horse's four-issue Aeon Flux series keeps the tension coiled tight, with the sharp-featured protagonist center stage in a striking pink dress and tactical harness, blade in hand. Looming behind her are a pair of armored soldiers, while a cool, pale male figure haunts the left background and a second, more vulnerable portrait of Aeon appears in a circular inset at lower right — suggesting a story pulling her in multiple directions at once. Fans of the animated series will find plenty to savor in this stylish cover that captures the series' signature blend of danger and intrigue.
