Blood Tree #3

The cover of Blood Tree #3 says everything with chilling economy: a tactical operative fills the frame in close-up, night-vision goggles glowing a deep crimson — and reflected in each lens is a different armed figure, suggesting someone is watching, tracking, and very much in control. It's a striking visual from Šimić and Kalisz that turns the observer into the observed, folding the hunter and the hunted into a single unsettling image. Peter Tomasi's series continues to deliver tightly wound thriller energy, and this third issue promises the tension is only tightening.
