Assassinistas #5

Two armed and self-assured figures — a punk with a red mohawk in a green tank top and a younger man in a black tee — stand back-to-back against a burst of hot pink and purple rays, each holding a pistol with cool, practiced ease. It's a striking composition from IDW's Black Crown imprint, with the creative team of Howard, Hernandez, Davis, and Bidikar delivering a cover that radiates stylish attitude. Multiversity Comics called it "Next Level," and this 2018 issue of Assassinistas makes a strong case for that kind of enthusiasm.
