A sleek, brilliantly designed thriller cover! A sharp-dressed man fills the left half of the frame — white suit jacket — red open-collar shirt beneath — dark skin — short natural hair — a slow, dangerous half-smile playing at his lips — one eye slightly narrowed — exuding total calm confidence — and behind him — radiating outward in crisp red linework — a targeting crosshair reticle fills the right side of the cover — concentric rings expanding from behind his head — and filling every remaining inch of the background — dense columns and rows of handwritten mathematical equations — integrals, trigonometric functions, velocity formulas, and coordinate geometry — all rendered in dark red ink on an off-white ground. A pistol hangs loosely in his right hand at his side. (a calculated man) in elegant lowercase serif math-bracket typography across the centre. Distinctive, intelligent, and effortlessly cool.
A great pick for AfterShock Comics fans, crime thriller readers, Tobin fans, and anyone who loves a smartly designed genre first issue. Spec copy.
