28 Days Later #3

Against a blood-red backdrop dominated by a biohazard symbol, a gas-masked figure in a plaid skirt brandishes what appears to be a blade, with the silhouette of Tower Bridge looming ominously in the lower background — Tim Bradstreet's Cover A for this 2009 Boom! Studios issue is atmospheric and unsettling in equal measure. The series continues its post-apocalyptic vision of a ravaged Britain, with Michael Alan Nelson writing and Declan Shalvey on interior art. It's a striking package that captures the bleak tension at the heart of this world.
