Back to Brooklyn #4

The penultimate chapter of this Image crime series arrives with a cover that pulls no punches: a desperate man in a trench coat swings a pistol overhead while a snarling, bloodied attack dog lunges at him, the skeletal steel of a bridge looming red and menacing in the background — with a grim, armed figure lurking in the shadows below. Writers Garth Ennis and Jimmy Palmiotti bring their trademark hard-edged street-level intensity to "Saturday Night," and Mihailo Vukelic's cover art captures the raw, cornered-animal tension of a man fighting through every obstacle the borough throws at him. Four issues in, Back to Brooklyn continues to deliver exactly the kind of unrelenting crime drama that makes you flip straight to the first page.
