Circuit-Breaker #2

Kyle Baker's cover for this second issue of Image's Circuit-Breaker sets an immediately tense scene: a pink-haired girl in a school uniform braces herself against a brick-alley backdrop, baseball bat raised and green eyes alert, while an ominous robotic shadow looms on the wall behind her. The manga-influenced art style from Kevin McCarthy and Kyle Baker gives the book a distinctive energy that stands apart from most of Image's 2016 lineup. At just $2.99, this is an inviting entry point into what looks like a scrappy, high-stakes series.
