Die!Die!Die! #2

The cover of Die!Die!Die! #2 pulls no punches — a battered, bloodied, shirtless man stares down a knife dripping with blood while two armed figures blaze away with guns in the foreground, all rendered with visceral intensity by Chris Burnham. Robert Kirkman and Scott M. Gimple's Skybound series wastes no time announcing its brutally unapologetic tone, right down to the cover's own self-aware tagline. Nathan Fairbairn's coloring gives the nighttime urban backdrop a gritty, cinematic weight that makes this 2018 Image title impossible to overlook.
