Crush #2

Dark Horse's Crush #2 keeps the momentum of this 2003 series rolling with a cover by Sean Murphy that practically leaps off the page — a muscular figure hoists a full-sized motorcycle overhead against a moonlit city skyline, while a second intense character looms in the foreground, fangs bared and expression fierce. The moody night-time palette and Murphy's sharp, kinetic linework give the scene real urban menace. Writer Jason Hall and artist Sean Murphy make a compelling team, and this issue promises the kind of street-level supernatural tension the cover so effectively sells.
