Cherish #5

Dynamite's Cherish reaches its fifth issue with a cover that radiates genuine menace: a blonde woman lies sprawled on the ground, her dropped pistol just out of reach, while a darkly clad figure looms over her — blades cutting through the smoky air above. The painting by Sager captures a brutal, cinematic tension that makes it impossible not to wonder what brought these two to this moment. If the series has been building toward a reckoning, this 2023 cover suggests it has well and truly arrived.
