Criminal #6

Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips continue "Cruel Summer Part Two" with a cover that pulls you straight into their signature world of noir dread. A barefoot woman in a slip dress stands cold-eyed and resolute, revolver in hand, while a brooding male face looms large in magenta shadow behind her — and two period cars, one a police cruiser, sit low in the background as if the night itself is closing in. It's a beautifully composed image of tension and danger that makes this 2019 Image series as compelling as ever.
