Dead Body Road #4

The fourth chapter of Justin Jordan's gritty crime series arrives with a cover that oozes menace — Matteo Scalera and Moreno Dinisio drench the scene in deep reds, with a hooded figure seated at a table, brass knuckles raised, as another hooded figure looms in the foreground amid what looks like a pile of bodies. It's a tense, atmospheric composition that captures the brutal, street-level world this Skybound/Image series has been building since issue one. If hard-boiled revenge thrillers are your thing, 2014's Dead Body Road is delivering them with real style.
