Escape from New York #9

Snake Plissken dominates this cover — cigarette dangling from his lips, sunglasses on, and a heavy weapon held at the ready — while a surging crowd of armed figures looms through the smoke behind him. It's a tense, coolly rendered image by cover artist Jason Copland that captures the lawless energy of the world Sebela, Šimić, and Louise are building in this BOOM! Studios series. Issue nine looks like it keeps the pressure squarely on Snake's shoulders, and the cover makes a strong case for picking it up.
