Death to Pachuco #2

The cover of this Image/Top Cow series packs a lot of tension into a single striking composition — a woman in a pink skirt is pulled urgently by a gun-wielding figure near a stairwell exit, while an ominous shadowy couple looms large in the upper background, and a lone trench-coated figure surveys a warmly lit scene below beside a decorative cross. Barajas, Merrill, Loughridge, and Dennis bring a noir-drenched, culturally rich visual style that feels both cinematic and distinctly grounded. If the first issue hooked you, this second chapter looks ready to deepen the intrigue considerably.
