Bat Lash #5

The penultimate chapter of "Guns and Roses" arrives with a thunderous cover by Walter Simonson — Bat Lash, pistol raised, rides hard alongside a Native warrior armed with a rifle as a full war party surges behind them in a cloud of dust and arrows. That subtitle, "Hooves of Fury!", captures the energy perfectly: two riders at full gallop, barely ahead of the chaos at their backs. With Sergio Aragonés and Peter Brandvold steering the story and John Severin bringing the interior art, this 2008 DC Western miniseries delivers the kind of frontier grit that makes Bat Lash such an enduring corner of the DC universe.
