50 Girls 50 #4

Frank Cho's cover for issue #4 pulls no punches — a battle-worn female astronaut in a torn white suit, splattered with blood and gripping both a pistol and a combat knife, stares out with fierce, unflinching resolve against a bloodstained orange background. The raw, visceral energy of the image makes it clear that the crew of 50 Girls 50 has been through some serious hell by this point in the series. With Doug Murray and Frank Cho writing and Axel Medellin bringing the interior pages to life, this 2011 Image title continues to deliver high-stakes sci-fi action with plenty of attitude.
