Bomb Queen III The Good, the Bad & the Lovely #2

Bomb Queen is back in fine villainous form for this second issue of The Good, the Bad & the Lovely, proudly billed as "America's Best Villain Comic Book" from Image's Shadowline imprint. The cover sets a darkly comedic carnival scene: Bomb Queen herself smirks in her red latex outfit, clutching a lit bomb, while two bound figures — one in purple, one in black — sit perched as targets in a "Kill-A-Hero!" dunk-tank-style booth behind her, much to the delight of the silhouetted crowd cheering her on. Jimmie Robinson's irreverent sensibility is on full display in this 2007 Mature Readers release, delivering exactly the kind of over-the-top villainous swagger the series revels in.
