Cross Fire #7

The seventh chapter of J-L Sala and P-M Chan's Cross Fire arrives with a cover that radiates cool, controlled tension — three armed operatives stand back-to-back: a muscular dark-haired man gripping a pistol, a red-haired woman in a sleek tactical suit, and a white-haired woman holding a blade, all poised and ready against a ghostly backdrop of sketched figures. Subtitled Erhebe dich an einem anderen Tag ("Rise on Another Day"), this 2019 Splitter Verlag release promises the kind of stylish, high-stakes action the series does so well. A confident entry for fans already along for the ride, and an eye-catching starting point for newcomers drawn in by that striking trio.
