Case Files: Sam & Twitch #18

Part five of "Ancient Chinese Secret, Huh?" arrives with an unforgettable cover by Greg Capullo — a bloodied, furious figure lunges forward through a graffiti-tagged alley, gun thrust directly at the viewer, his torn sleeve soaked red in a way that makes the tension viscerally immediate. Marc Andreyko and E.J. Su's hard-edged crime fiction has rarely looked more urgent, promising exactly the kind of brutal street-level drama this series delivers so well. If you've been following this arc, issue #18 is the chapter you won't want to set down.
