Curse Words #17

Charles Soule and Ryan Browne's Curse Words keeps the energy crackling with issue #17, and this cover delivers — a skull-faced figure in a suit clashes violently with a wild-bearded man in sunglasses, both grappling over a staff while blue lightning surges between them against a dusky city skyline. Ryan Browne's linework and colors give the whole brawl a kinetic, almost gleefully unhinged quality that perfectly suits the series' irreverent spirit. If you've been following this Image title, issue #17 looks like a thoroughly satisfying entry in the run.
