Blood Syndicate #29

Part of Milestone's "Long Hot Summer" crossover event, Blood Syndicate #29 arrives as a Milestone Reader's Choice issue — 32 fully painted pages for just 99¢. The cover by ChrisCross puts two figures at the center of a volatile moment: a massive, wild-haired man dominates the background, wreathed in roaring flames, while a woman in the foreground is caught mid-struggle, fire erupting around them both. The cover copy makes the stakes plain — Flashback has left the Blood Syndicate and joined with Pyre as Dakota teeters on the edge of a riot, asking whether these two will be the ones to push it over.
