Masterminds #4

Edward is a fugitive on the run across a shadowy society where trust is a weapon and time is against him. In Masterminds #4, Level Four presses him to uncover the society’s secrets while questioning whether the game is a billion-dollar heist or a sadistic, real-life initiation designed to recruit the smartest minds of all time. As clues tighten and loyalties fracture, Edward must outmaneuver rivals, decode cryptic rituals, and decide how far he will go to survive. Written by Zack Kaplan with art by Stephen Thompson, this issue features Thompson’s striking visuals on the main cover (CVR A) and Juan Ramos’s bold variant (CVR B), with Thiago Rocha bringing the color to life. This is the fourth installment in a five-issue arc that ramps up tension, twists, and a killer investigation into a clandestine society that may redefine intelligence.
