Escape from New York #16

Snake Plissken stares down the reader from a United States Police Force booking photo — eye patch, cigarette dangling from his lips, and prisoner number 07041775 held up against a faded American flag height chart — and the image says everything you need to know about where this series' antihero stands with authority. Issue #16 of BOOM! Studios' Escape from New York brings together writer Christopher Sebela, artist Maxim Šimić, and colorist Marissa Louise for another chapter in this continuation of John Carpenter's cult world, with Jason Copland delivering a cover that captures Snake's defiant cool in one perfectly composed shot.
