Foolkiller #2

Dave Johnson's cover for this 2017 Marvel series says it all with darkly comic flair: a masked, armored Foolkiller looms above a crowd of red-jacketed, skull-badged goons, dual pistols raised, while a bouquet of cheerfully passive-aggressive balloons floats above him reading things like "Sorry for the Pain," "Oops! I Shot U Again," and "Sorry for Killing U." The juxtaposition of greeting-card whimsy against genuine menace perfectly captures the twisted tonal balancing act that writer Max Bemis and artist Dalibor Talajić are going for with this series. If issue one left you curious, this cover makes a pretty convincing case that Foolkiller has a very specific, very entertaining point of view.
