Barbarella #3

Dynamite's Barbarella #3 brings Mike Carey and Kenan Yarar's mature sci-fi adventure to its third chapter with "Red Hot Gospel Part Three: Fire and Sword" — a title that crackles with tension and forward momentum. The cover by Vicente Cifuentes presents the galaxy's most resourceful adventurer draped languidly across what appears to be a large weapon or spacecraft component, her voluminous blonde hair cascading around her as she fixes the viewer with a coolly knowing gaze — all rendered in a warm palette of deep reds and golds that suits the "fire" promised in the story's title. It's a striking image that captures Barbarella's blend of glamour and danger in equal measure.
