User #3

The concluding chapter of DC Vertigo's three-part User miniseries arrives with a cover that collides two very different worlds: a heavily armored fantasy warrior and a snarling blue troll-like creature clash sword-in-hand against a smoldering red sky, while a ghostly, contemplative human face materializes below amid cascading streams of raw computer code. It's a striking visual tension between the analog and the digital, the imagined and the real, rendered by the collaborative cover artistry of John Bolton and Sean Phillips. With Devin Grayson's script and Bolton and Phillips sharing illustration duties throughout, User #3 promises a resonant finish to this Vertigo meditation on identity and the pull of online fantasy.
