Bad Girls #4

Three stylish women gathered around a gravestone reading "Destinee — Only the Good Die Young" sets a delightfully dark comedic tone for this penultimate chapter of DC's five-issue miniseries. Darwyn Cooke's cover art gives the scene an irresistibly sleek, mid-century flair — a laughing dark-haired woman with a skull purse, a red-haired figure in sunglasses and long black gloves, and a silver-haired woman clutching a red book all strike poses that feel more like a fashion shoot than a funeral. With Vance, Norrie, and Krall bringing "Girl, Intercepted" to life inside, this January 2004 issue promises sharp wit wrapped in equally sharp style.
