Body Bags #2

The second chapter of "Father's Day" arrives in this 1996 Dark Horse Blanc Noir series, with a cover by Michael Golden that crackles with kinetic energy — a fierce young woman levels a pistol while a hulking, masked figure wielding a massive blade dominates the center, and a grizzled, heavyset man sprawls in the foreground amid a spray of debris. Golden's composition packs all three figures into a tight, explosive diagonal that makes the whole cover feel like it's mid-collision. If you're looking for hard-edged action with serious attitude, Body Bags #2 delivers the goods right from the outside in.
