Burnouts #4

Three terrified teenagers grip prison bars in wide-eyed panic while a long-fingered alien hand reaches down from above — it's a wonderfully unnerving image that captures Burnouts at its scrappiest and most fun. Artist Chris Burnham renders the scene in sharp black-and-white with a sickly green wash, giving the whole thing a grindhouse energy that suits the series perfectly. Issue four of Image's irreverent alien-invasion series keeps the stakes feeling genuinely threatening without losing a beat of its offbeat charm.
