Junior Baker the Righteous Faker #5

The penultimate chapter of Joe Casey and Ryan Quackenbush's Image series arrives with one of its most atmospheric covers yet — a lone figure standing with his back to us, a flaming object burning in his outstretched hand against a deep orange haze, rows of distant lights stretching behind him. Quackenbush's cover has a moody, cinematic quality that perfectly suits a series built around moral ambiguity and attitude. If Junior Baker the Righteous Faker has been on your radar, issue #5 makes a compelling case for jumping in.
