Five Weapons #9

Jimmie Robinson's Five Weapons: Tyler's Revenge reaches its ninth issue with this cool, confident cover showing a blond young man in a school uniform seated casually on a stone wall, holding a hand saw that reflects another face in its polished blade — a neat visual that hints at layered rivalries and identity. The target emblem on his shirt and the saw in his grip sum up the series' clever mix of school-drama tension and unconventional weaponry. A sharp addition to one of Image/Shadowline's more inventive series of its era.
