Read for the Art - Cloak & Dagger #7 Marc Silvestri

This is one of a handful of Cloak and Dagger stories I've read. They aren't my favorite characters, but with Marc Silvestri drawing this issue I couldn't pass it up.

The story for Cloak and Dagger #7 is basically spelled out on the cover by the legendary Mike Mignola.
Cloak and Dagger board a freighter, hunting for drug smugglers.

Who are Cloak and Dagger?
I believe their origins have been tweaked a bit. Don't want people thinking they can get super powers from average street drugs.

I know the basics about Cloak and Dagger's powers.

Cloak's cape of darkness is mysterious and frightening.
Engulfing people within its cold, dark nothingness. 
Showing them their darkest secrets or fears. 

Dagger as a more physical power. 
Hard light daggers.
Paralyzing her targets, leaving them helpless against Cloak. 

The story might not have been much, but the art. 
Wow indeed.
