Bomb Queen V: The Divine Comedy #1

The self-proclaimed ruler of New Port City — "The City of Crime Since 1990" — dominates this opener to the six-issue Divine Comedy arc, her latex costume torn and blood-spattered as she stares down the reader with casual menace, a black cat at her feet and a Batman-style hero lurking warily in the background. The city behind her is plastered with irreverent storefronts and signage that set the satirical, anarchic tone Bomb Queen is known for, while bodies dangle ominously overhead. It's a bold, deliberately provocative first issue from Image's Shadowline imprint that makes no apologies for its adult sensibilities.
