Fell #9

Warren Ellis and Ben Templesmith's acclaimed crime series returns with issue nine, and the cover alone sets a brooding, unsettling tone. Templesmith layers a ghostly city map and fragments of a police report over a deep-blue nocturnal cityscape, with small red figures — stark against the cold palette — scattered across the scene like evidence markers at a crime site. At $1.99, Fell remains one of Image's most compelling and accessible reads of 2008.
