Hell Yeah #4

Two white-haired figures lock eyes over the blade of a sword between them — one armored with a skull emblem at her chest, the other in a jacket bearing the word "DEATH" — in a tense face-off set against crumbling stone columns. Joe Keatinge and Andre Szymanowicz bring an electric charge to this fourth chapter of "Last Day on Earths," with Szymanowicz's cover artwork selling the confrontation's simmering intensity beautifully. If you've been following Hell Yeah through Image's 20th-anniversary year, this issue looks like exactly the kind of escalation the series has been building toward.
