Charlatan Ball #2

A wild, pop-art fever dream fills this cover as a lone red-haired hero in a stars-and-stripes outfit stands his ground against a wall of grotesque, oversized disembodied heads — sneering, rotting, and thoroughly menacing — all set against a circuit-board-green backdrop studded with glowing orbs. Joe Casey and Andy Suriano bring a gleefully anarchic energy to Charlatan Ball, and this second issue promises more of the series' anything-goes visual imagination. If you like your superhero comics strange, colorful, and a little unhinged, this one's calling your name.
