Good as Dead #4

David Lapham and Maria Lapham's crime series reaches its fourth issue with a cover that practically dares you to look away — a stubble-faced man rendered upside-down, two pistols crossed in his hands against a backdrop of swirling flames. Dee Cunniffe's warm, fiery palette gives the image a tense, combustible energy that feels entirely fitting for a title called Good as Dead. If this Image series has been on your radar, issue four looks like exactly the right moment to see where things stand.
