Badlands #[nn]

Badlands is a gripping crime and conspiracy thriller from writer Steven Grant and artist Vince Giarrano that drips with Cold War-era dread. Tim Bradstreet's cover art says it all: a man's profile locked in a sniper's crosshairs, rose petals drifting past his face, while a second armed figure stands tense at his back — all framed against a faded American flag, a skull adorned with a red rose, and skeletal hands looming overhead. It's a striking, atmospheric package that sets a tone of fatalism and political menace you won't easily shake.
