Black Badge #7

Black Badge #7 presents a striking chalkboard-style cover by Matt Kindt, where a uniformed scout bearing the Black Badge skull emblem crouches in tense readiness against a backdrop of mission directives — "Get past checkpoint," "Navigate mine field," "Destroy target," and "Keep emotions compartmentalized" — sketched out like a grim operational briefing. A small, shadowed figure labeled with a "mercy option" looms in the corner, hinting at the cold calculus these young operatives face. Tyler Jenkins and Hilary Jenkins bring their atmospheric storytelling to "Chapter Seven" of this 2019 BOOM! Studios series, and the cover alone makes a compelling case for picking it up.
