Assassin Nation #4

Assassin Nation #4 delivers the series' signature blend of muscle and absurdity right on its Erica Henderson cover, where a shirtless, overall-clad bruiser squares up alongside a warier, rifle-toting companion — all while an oversized kawaii bear mascot looms cheerfully behind them. A pink-gloved fist adorned with candy bead bracelets crowds the foreground, somehow making the whole standoff feel even more delightfully unhinged. Kyle Starks and Henderson's 2019 series continues to prove that world-class assassins and off-kilter charm are a surprisingly natural pairing.
