28 Days Later #6

Set against a weathered, blood-spattered Union Jack bearing a biohazard symbol — and a distant silhouette of shambling infected on the horizon — this sixth issue from Boom! Studios presents a gripping image of a lone survivor crouched low, leather jacket worn and weary, a large blade planted firmly in the ground before her. Tim Bradstreet's cover art gives her a quiet, steely intensity that feels every bit as unsettling as the ravaged Britain surrounding her. With Michael Alan Nelson writing and Declan Shalvey illustrating interiors colored by Nick Filardi, this 2009 series continues to prove that the 28 Days Later world translates compellingly to the comics page.
