Five Weapons #3

Five Weapons rolls into its third chapter with a cover that's equal parts playful and unsettling — a blue-haired, red-nosed figure grins wickedly in the foreground, clutching a voodoo doll pierced with pins and bearing a target on its chest, while a blond, shades-wearing figure looms coolly behind, surrounded by arrows. Book Three spotlights Joon the Loon and Darryl the Arrow, and creator Jimmie Robinson makes it immediately clear these two rivals bring very different flavors of danger to the table. This 2013 Image/Shadowline series continues to blend action-school intrigue with a sharp visual wit that sets it apart from the superhero crowd.
