Joy Operations 2 #2

From Brian Michael Bendis and Stephen Byrne, this second volume's second issue presents a striking cover image of a white-suited figure levitating above a churning explosion of teal energy and dark, tendril-like debris, dual flaming pistols blazing in each hand against a neon-lit cityscape backdrop. Byrne's linework and color work together beautifully, giving the scene a kinetic intensity that practically radiates off the page. Dark Horse's Joy Operations continues to look like one of 2024's most visually ambitious sci-fi action series.
