Floaters #4

The penultimate chapter of Dark Horse's five-part Floaters miniseries arrives with a cover by Lance Tooks and Scott Williams that practically crackles with kinetic energy — a wild-eyed, ghoulish figure astride a motorcycle bears down on the viewer while, in the green vehicle behind him, three armed passengers (one gripping the wheel, another brandishing a pistol, a third looming from the back seat) look anything but friendly. Sean Fagan and Cinqué Lee's mature-readers series has clearly built to a collision of characters by issue four, and Tooks' bold, cartoonishly expressive linework gives the whole scene a darkly comic charge that's hard to look away from.
