Grindhouse: Doors Open at Midnight #4

Dark Horse's grindhouse anthology delivers another dose of pulpy space mayhem with Prison Ship Antares Part Two: Shanks for the Memories — a subtitle that tells you exactly what kind of fun you're in for. Dan Panosian's cover sets a tense, unsettling mood: a figure grips prison bars from the outside while a shredded red garment dangles ominously, all framed against a star-filled void where distant planets hang in cold silence. Writer Alex de Campi and artist Simon Fraser continue their sci-fi exploitation saga with colorist Gary Caldwell rounding out the creative team on this proudly — and hilariously — "No Redeeming Value" installment.
