Chu #2

John Layman and Dan Boultwood's Chu continues its five-part "First Course" arc with this 2020 Image Comics release. Boultwood's cover sets a darkly stylish tone — a suited figure crouches low over a bloodied face on the ground while a fur-collared, arms-crossed companion stands coolly behind him, the whole scene backdropped by dramatic dripping crimson. It's a striking visual partnership that suggests this series has a sharp, noir-edged sense of humor to go along with its messy business.
