Free Agents #6

The penultimate issue of this Image series brings the tension to a head, with Stephen Mooney's cover depicting a grimacing, powerfully built man straining forward while a towering armored figure in a Spartan-style helmet looms dominantly behind him — a composition that radiates conflict and barely contained force. Busiek and Nicieza have been crafting a superhero ensemble with real stakes, and this striking teal-and-shadow palette underscores just how precarious things have become for these free agents. A compelling visual promise for what's waiting inside.
