Circuit-Breaker #4

Image's Circuit-Breaker #4 brings McCarthy and Baker's manga-inflected sci-fi world to a fever pitch, with a pink-haired schoolgirl protagonist caught mid-air amid coiling mechanical tentacles, a looming robot figure, and a city erupting in fire and chaos behind her. The cover's loose, expressive linework and vivid watercolor-style washes give the whole scene a kinetic, almost frantic energy that feels entirely at home in Image's 2017 lineup. If you've been following this series, this issue's cover promises the kind of chaotic confrontation that makes the book such a distinctive read.
