Bomb Queen #3

Issue three of four in this Bomb Queen miniseries from Image/Shadowline puts a striking image front and center: an armored figure in sleek black-and-gold gear lies face-down on a blood-soaked ground, dwarfed by an enormous spherical bomb with a lit, sparking fuse looming behind them. The visual tension between the defeated hero and that ticking threat speaks volumes about the escalating stakes heading into this penultimate chapter. Jimmy Kitty's 2012 cover design is bold and economical — sometimes a giant bomb says everything you need to know.
