Curse Words #19

Charles Soule and Ryan Browne's irreverent Image series reaches its nineteenth installment with a cover that crackles with supernatural menace — a skeletal, cape-wearing figure dominates the foreground, blue magical energy blazing from his hands and skull motifs adorning his chest, while a ragtag crew of gun-toting mercenaries and an NY-capped woman loom behind him. Ryan Browne handles both line art and inks on this cover, giving the whole composition a kinetic, slightly unhinged energy that perfectly suits the series' wild tone. If Curse Words has been on your radar, issue #19 makes a compelling visual case for diving in.
