Codename Baboushka #5

The fifth and final chapter of "The Conclave of Death" arc arrives with a cover as sharp and stylish as the series itself — a bold red-and-black silhouette of a white-haired woman, her figure framed against a stark Soviet-inspired graphic design that feels equal parts espionage thriller and graphic art. Shari Chankhamma's cover work is confidently minimal, letting the striking color palette and that unmistakable matryoshka doll logo do the heavy lifting. Antony Johnston and Chankhamma bring this arc to a close in what promises to be a satisfying, tension-filled conclusion to one of Image's sleekest spy titles of 2016.
