Duck and Cover #2

Dark Horse's Duck and Cover #2 continues Scott Snyder and Rafael Albuquerque's series with a cover that commands attention — a masked, striped figure in a wide-brimmed hat stands braced against a swirl of bold white ribbons of energy against a warm amber-gold background, conveying both power and tension in equal measure. Albuquerque's artwork gives the figure a cool, stylized silhouette that feels equally rooted in noir and superhero tradition. If this second issue carries the same visual ambition as its cover, 2024 is shaping up to be a strong year for this Dark Horse title.
